“The truth is everyone is winging it.”
“Most of the old moles
I know wish they had
listened less to their fears and
more to their dreams.”
“Everyone is a bit scared,”
said the horse.
“But we are less scared
together.”
“How do they look so
together and perfect?”
asked the boy (observing swans swimming in the pond).
“There's a lot of frantic paddling
going on beneath,”
said the horse.
A beautiful, charming, sweet, heartfelt book with beautiful illustrations. Maybe a little cloying and simplistic at moments, but sometimes “that's what you need.
Mole may be my spirit animal. “If at first you don't succeed, have some cake.”
And I feel like i need to repeat that the drawings are gorgeous. So if you get a chance to even just glance through this one, do so.
This book was deeper than I expected it to be. A lot of people can relate to it as it touches the topic of friendship, loneliness, our fears, and love. Very quick read but charming.
