About this episode

I am so thrilled to share this podcast episode with you on this most thankful of weeks!

Charlie Mackesy, author and illustrator of the lovely, simple, but hugely inspiring book, "The Boy, the mole, the fox and the Horse" joins me today.

An amazingly talented, kind, and insightful man, who has spread an abundance of love and compassion through his pen and ink drawings, profound statements, and relatable characters, Charlie is as delightful to speak with as his book is to read. It's a moving conversation, welcome! ~ Delilah
