My Thoughts: What can I say? The original edition of The Little Prince was published way back in 1943, and my own copy—printed in 2016—still carries a message that feels just as relevant today. This timeless children's classic was chosen by my book club, and, incredibly, it was my first time reading it.

At its heart, The Little Prince is a gentle and philosophical tale. On the surface, it’s the story of a young boy—the Little Prince—who travels from planet to planet, encountering a variety of curious grown-ups along the way. But there’s so much more beneath these whimsical adventures. Through the innocent, sometimes puzzling questions posed by the Little Prince, the book explores big themes: loneliness, friendship, love, loss, and the strange ways of adults.

What struck me most was the combination of childlike wonder and deep emotional wisdom. There’s a beautiful honesty that runs through the story—something that feels rare and refreshing. It reminds us of how children see the world with clarity and sincerity, unburdened by the complexities and contradictions adults often create.

Though written for children, this story holds just as much—if not more—meaning for grown-up readers. It’s a gentle reminder to stay curious, to value what really matters, and to see with the heart rather than the eyes.

Final thoughts :I can see why The Little Prince has stood the test of time. It’s a charming, thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page. If you haven’t read it yet—whether you’re eight or eighty—it’s well worth picking up. A quiet little book with a big, beautiful soul.
