Call to Action

My dream for the residents of Present Valley are best described by quotes from Charlie Mackesy's book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.

“Always remember you matter, you're important and you are loved and you bring to the world things no one else can” said the horse.

"Everyone is a bit scared but we are less scared together” said the horse.

“The greatest illusion is that life should be perfect” said the mole.

“What do you think is the biggest waste of time” said the boy. “Comparing yourself to others,” said the mole.

“One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things” said the mole.

What is the bravest thing you've ever said?” asked the boy. “Help” said the horse.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” “Kind” said the boy. “Being kind to ourselves is one of the greatest kindnesses” said the mole. “Nothing beats kindness” said the horse. “It sits quietly beyond all things.”

“Often the hardest person to forgive is yourself” said the mole.

“What do you think success is?” asked the boy. “To love,” said the mole.

“What do we do when our hearts hurt?” asked the boy. “We wrap them with friendship, shared tears and time till they wake hopeful and happy again” said the horse.
