The Little Prince

The Little Prince is a sweet and meaningful book. It tells the story of a little prince who travels from planet to planet, meeting all kinds of funny and strange people—like a king who rules over nothing, and a man who counts stars he doesn’t even own. What I love most is that the book uses simple words to talk about big ideas, like love, friendship, and what’s really important in life. The prince’s friendship with the fox is especially touching; the fox teaches him that “what is essential is invisible to the eye.” This book isn’t just for kids. Adults can also learn a lot from it, because it reminds us not to forget the childlike heart inside us. I think everyone should read The Little Prince—it’s a short book, but it stays with you long after you finish reading it.
