The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse by Charlie Mackesy.

The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse by Charlie Mackesy. 

Ebury Press 2019. 

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. 

Ostensibly a story of friendship, many of the lessons / observances are applicable to living through grief.

It reminded me of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, but even more poignant and powerful.
