Let’s take a cue from Charlie Mackesy and spread kindness
One of his most famous creations is a character called the Boy, a young child who is on a journey to discover the meaning of life. Along the way, the Boy meets a number of animal friends who help him learn important life lessons. One of these animal friends is a wise old horse who teaches the Boy about the importance of kindness.
