Meet the Little Prince (Phonetic Version)

Translated from the French edition
Reviving Classic Children's Literature

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."

The mysterious Little Prince has his own planet, three volcanoes,
and a beautiful yet proud rose.

The Little Prince travels among various planets,
meeting all sorts of strange adults, his heart filled with questions.

Finally, the Little Prince arrives on Earth.
In the desert, he meets an aviator whose plane has crashed...

More than seventy years since its publication,
Through words and illustrations, following in the author's footsteps,
we will encounter an enchanting and innocent Little Prince,
and witness a profound friendship that lingers in our hearts.

An undying classic,
Every child has a Little Prince within them.

Many themes in "The Little Prince" have been continuously discussed over the years,
such as the differences and conflicts between adults and children,
the complex issues of love and friendship,
and humanity's curiosity and endless questions about death.

From the very beginning of the story,
we can feel that the narrator dislikes adults,
a characteristic also seen in the Little Prince.

Even though all adults were once children,
few can remember what it felt like to be a child,
because those memories are long buried!

Perhaps this story aims to awaken the forgotten child
within every adult.
