object of art."

to be a good person, this book would be the
textbook."--Horse Nation
"A lonely boy ambles through the countryside on a spring day,
finding companionship: first meeting the mole, then the other
animals of the title. As they walk, the new friends talk, wonder,
share their hopes and fears and pose some big questions. . . . A
big hit."--The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A sweet tale rendered in swirly black calligraphy and watercolor.
Childlike in its simplicity, its messages are universal. . . .
Mackesy has brought people together."--The Washington
Post

has created - a world of infinite kindness, wisdom, mutual care and
tenderness, and true love between real friends. My prayer/hope is
that our world will become more like this one."--Elizabeth

Pray, Love and Big Magic
