The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Ezupery
A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters a strange young boy who calls himself the Little Prince. The Little Prince has traveled there from his home on a lonely, distant asteroid with a single rose. The story that follows is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking meditation on human nature. The Little Prince is one of the best-selling and most translated books of all time, universally cherished by children and adults alike, and Richard Howard's translation of the beloved classic beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style, bringing the English text as close as possible to the French in language, style, and spirit. In this special edition, the artwork has been restored to match in detail and in color Saint-Exupéry's original artwork. This definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.
It has been recommended by multiple members and was the inspiration for Jin's famous Moon performance.

I’m going to do my reread tonight! So excited to chat about this with everyone!
I’m not joining in the discussion, but I wanted to thank you for reminding me that I, in fact, own this book, and I have yet to read it 🤣 I bought in back in 2021 btw 😅 I just finished another book and was thinking about what to read next, so thank you for bringing this to my attention. Even if that wasn’t the point of your post. Like, at all ![img](emote|t5_2zqih|21328)
