During the pandemic, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy captured imaginations, inspired kindness, and offered hope to hundreds of thousands of people. Readers of all ages were inspired by the voyage, honesty, and friendship encountered in the book.

Join Sheffield Libraries as they begin their own Sheffield Journey. You are invited to take a short walk with other Sheffielders and share some of the wisdom you’ve acquired during the pandemic. You'll be joined by a local illustrator, Ste Johnson and after the walk return to the library and record the conversations in sketches and paint, all inspired by the stunning illustrations of Charlie Mackesy

Following the workshops, Ste will interpret the recorded wisdom and produce a series of illustrated postcards with a Sheffield flavour. These will then be distributed around community locations citywide.

Everyone welcome. Children must be accompanied.

There'll be two sessions, starting at different libraries:

12 February, 10am–12:30pm, Chapeltown Library – book now

14 February, 2–4:30pm, Woodseats Library – book now
