By this point in quarantine, those with kids might be wishing that Peppa Pig had a little bit more of the drama of Tiger King or that Goodnight Moon had just... a few more words? It is difficult to be something that everyone, of every age, can relate to-- especially when maybe you've all been together for quite a little bit now. The New York Times picked The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse as the story that transcends any confine, a book for families to read together right now. This is a story filled with beautiful illustrations about a journey that these four take together-- just getting to know more and more about each other's lives. It's a story that feels especially special right now, as we all band together with love and empathy to face this new world.
