This book was a gift to me last year and I had no idea if it was a story or non-fiction etc. All I knew is that social media loves it for it's short snippets of wisdom and beautiful drawings.
When I realised that I was essentially a string of positive and uplifting quotes and advice I sighed a bit. I thought it was just a series of feel good posters that had been bound together and sold for $£$£$.
But I purposely stopped reading it like a book and focused on each page for a moment. On one of them I realised 20 minutes had gone by and I was still staring at it fuzzy eyed and thinking.
It was actually quite touching how the mole, boy, fox and horse were used as a common thread to link the pages. I ended up thinking about each statement for quite a while and some actually got me quite emotional.
I've even put tabs on the pages that really hit me so that I can go back to them in the future.
Though the pages make me think one way as an adult, I would love to read them to my kids in a few years to see the childs take on some of it.

This book always has, in every life situation, something to offer. Something I keep taking off my bookshelves over and over again.

This was a super cute book. It was short and sweet. It has a bunch of really cute quotes in it. Was definitely a nice little feel good read.

A soft and soothing story of the power of love for oneself and others.
To be read over and over again. And, by the way, no need to begin and the beginning. You may float from page to page as you wish.
