Stranded in the desert beside a broken aircraft, a pilot meets a boy from a very small planet, and the conversation that follows has been translated into more languages than almost any other modern book.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote a story children read as an adventure and adults read as an argument about attention, attachment and what grown-ups stop noticing. The chapters are brief, the author's own drawings run through the text, and the tone stays gentle even where the subject is loss.
Reasons readers return to it:
• The complete English text of Saint-Exupéry's best-loved story
• The author's original illustrations placed alongside the narrative
• Chapters short enough to work read alone or read aloud
• Reflections on friendship, responsibility and seeing clearly
A thoughtful gift for readers of any age and a steady choice for school libraries, available at Boipoka.
