Imagine being lost in the desert, far from anywhere familiar, when a small blond boy appears out of nowhere. This little prince asks you to draw a sheep, sparking your curiosity about his origins and story. What unfolds is a strange, poetic world filled with metaphors, where the prince shares fresh, naive, yet profound perspectives on our own world. Journey through unusual planets inhabited by businessmen, drinkers, vain men, and lamplighters, in a tale that is both dreamlike and initiatory, teaching the essential riches of human relationships and the secret that governs them: "One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." This beloved classic invites readers to rediscover the child within us while sharing its timeless wisdom with the young.

Imaginez-vous perdu dans le désert, loin de tout lieu habité, et face à un petit garçon tout blond, surgi de nulle part. Si de surcroît ce petit garçon vous demande avec insistance de dessiner un mouton, vous voilà plus qu'étonné !

À partir de là, vous n'aurez plus qu'une seule interrogation: savoir d'où vient cet étrange petit bonhomme et connaître son histoire. S'ouvre alors un monde étrange et poétique, peuplé de métaphores, décrit à travers les paroles d'un petit prince qui porte aussi sur notre monde à nous un regard tout neuf, empli de naïveté, de fraîcheur et de gravité.

Très vite, vous découvrez d'étranges planètes, peuplées d'hommes d'affaires, de buveurs, de vaniteux, d'allumeurs de réverbères. Cette évocation onirique, à laquelle participent les aquarelles de l'auteur, a tout d'un parcours initiatique, où l'enfant apprendra les richesses essentielles des rapports humains et le secret qui les régit: "On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Œuvre essentielle de la littérature, ce livre de Saint-Exupéry est un ouvrage que l'on aura à cœur de raconter à son enfant, page après page, histoire aussi de redécouvrir l'enfant que l'on était autrefois, avant de devenir une grande personne !
