Charlie Mackesy is the illustrator and author of the bestselling book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse and now the brand new sequel Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm.
He is also a Christian and has been for many years.
It wasn't always the case. He describes his younger self as even being "hotly against Christianity". But he was always the kind to ask questions. Big questions, small questions. Questions about everything, including the biggest little question anyone can ask: "why?"
These questions would change his life forever...
