A reminder of the most important things in life. A book of hope for uncertain times.


Enter the world of Charlie's four unlikely friends, discover their story and their most poignant life lessons. Charlie's first book includes his most-loved illustrations and new ones too.

The conversations of the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse have been shared thousands of times online, recreated in school art classes, hung on hospital walls and turned into tattoos.

'A wonderful work of art and a wonderful window into the human heart' Richard Curtis
