The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse | Charlie Mackesy

Why it is included: In a library full of heavy philosophy and complex systems, this book is a breath of fresh air.

It uses ink drawings and sparse text to explore the vulnerability of being human.

It asks simple questions like "What is the bravest thing you've ever said?" (Answer: "Help.") and dismantles the illusion that we need to be perfect or strong.

We include this because the transition is scary.

We will feel small. We will get lost.

This book serves as "Gentle Medicine." It reminds us that kindness—to others and to ourselves—is the fuller form of wisdom.

It anchors the M.A.G.I.C.A.L. kit in the heart, ensuring that our quest for a thriving world doesn't become cold or purely intellectual.
