I first met The Little Prince in a college French class and my love for him has continued to grow for almost half a century since. For "les enfants" who meet him, he's wonderful, but grown ups need to remember that what is most important is invisible to the eye so grow and age with our mutual friend.
My husband and I take our friend with us on every trip, reading a chapter aloud together, noting where we are when we read. We finish and then begin again for voyages with The Little Prince are never the same. We also collect a version of the book in the language of different countries we visit.
I could add many meaningful encounters with him, but one he gave me will always speak to my heart. Thirty years ago when my dear sister was far from me and in the final weeks of her battle with cancer, I would read it aloud to her over the phone -- once again just a chapter or two each time. As we neared the end and the Little Prince gave that wonderful gift of a star to the pilot, she stopped me and said "You know, from my bed I can't see the stars tonight, but I can see the moon. So tonight I want to give you a gift.. I'm going to give you the moon. Now every time you see it you'll know that we are connected and although at first you may be sad, eventually you will smile and my read wish is that you will begin to look up at the moon and laugh because you'll know we are joined together -- and people around you may look at you funny and ask why you are laughing at the moon -- but you'll just tell them it was a gift from The Little Prince and your big sister.. "Ce qui est important est invisible aux yeux."

I don't think this book needs an introduction. I got it since I'm learning french, so this is a good option to test your knowledge and expand your vocabulary.

Las hojas se sienten de buena calidad y está muy lindo. No hay ninguna queja del producto, solo de mi decisión.
