"A picture book version of a much-loved classic full of tenderness, mystery and beauty"
November 2023 Book of the Month
Poet Louise Greig and illustrator Sarah Massini turn Antoine De Saint-Exupéry’s much-loved classic into a picture book retaining all the original’s tenderness, mystery and beauty.
Greig’s perfectly simple text tells the story of the airman and the little prince over gorgeously illustrated double pages, Massini’s illustrations wheeling back and forth from desert to the stars.
Encapsulated into single pages, the Little Prince’s encounters with those he meets on other planets but above all his friendship with a fox and his love for a rose reveal truths that will resonate even with the very young, so that they too can carry with them the story of the little prince.
