Reviews

Far beyond simplicity: a painterly message of hope and humanity.

"I chose this book for my book club at Christmas; an Indigo staff member highly recommended it and it was a fairly quick read. But definitely not an easily forgotten or banal story. Everyone loved it and agreed that this is not merely a book for children and young people but for adults as well: its powerful yet subtle (and visual) messages are there for people of all ages and genders. In short, a heartwarming story with brilliantly artful visuals about humans and animals of all kinds supporting each other in nature. This is a book that I will either give to grandchildren or keep in a special place, where I can revel in the sheer pleasure of words and images to regain perspective and hope."

— Sandy G. (5/5)

A beautiful story about friends

"I bought this book, because it looks so beautiful. The illustrations and handwritten story make it look like a sweet little journal. I love the characters and their story of friendship and a journey they all take together. It’s a newer addition of the original book and is now brighter and bolder!"

— Emleac (5/5)

Life lessons

"Bought this for my 12 year old niece. I browsed through and actually got caught up in the book. It provides life lessons in a straight up manner delivered through the eyes of a young boy and various every day animals."

— Tiana (5/5)

Charlie Mackey is amazing!

"I absolutely love everything about Charlie Macksey’s books. The drawings, the text / beautiful penmanship, but especially the story. A positive and uplifting message on every page."

A joy to read !

"Well written and very thought provoquing. A book you can read and read again. Deep reflection throughout the book. Good at any age. Just a joy !"

— Louise (5/5)

A wonderful book

"This is the most moving book I have ever read. I can't remember when I cried so much while reading a book. It is the most spiritually and emotionally satisfying book I have ever read. It put a gentle balm on all my emotional aches and pains and regrets. I highly recommend to everyone."

Short and sweet

"A lovely little book but overpriced for what it is. The meandering cursive text mirrors the meandering of our thoughts. Nice, but overpriced."
