Menjadi dewasa adalah mutlak. Manusia tak bisa kembali ke masa kanak-kanaknya. Tetapi, menjadi dewasa dan selalu berpikir kompleks, pelik, dan serius bukanlah sesuatu yang bisa kita jadikan kebiasaan terus-menerus. Sesekali kita perlu memelihara sifat kekanakan kita dan berpikir seperti saat kita masih anak-anak, apa adanya. The Little Prince adalah fabel klasik dari Prancis yang tak lekang oleh zaman tentang makna hidup dan sifat dasar manusia. Buku dengan judul asli Le Petit Prince ini mampu melintasi batas usia, budaya, dan bangsa sehingga banyak diterjemahkan ke berbagai bahasa. Kisahnya memang unik dan ajaib, sebab Pangeran Kecil ini mampu mengubah cara pandang orang dewasa terhadap banyak hal dan, mungkin juga Anda termasuk salah satunya. Kisah ini dimulai dari terdamparnya seorang pilot di salah satu gurun pasir di bumi. Saat ia sedang memperbaiki pesawatnya, muncul seorang anak kecil—yang entah dari mana asalnya—memintanya untuk menggambarkan seekor biri-biri. Si pilot, yang setelah menolak beberapa kali, akhirnya menggambarkan seekor biri-biri, tetapi anak kecil itu menolaknya berulang-ulang karena biri-birinya tidak cocok. Pilot tersebut tak kehabisan ide. Ia lalu menggambar sebuah kotak dan berkata, “Ini kotaknya. Biri-biri yang kau inginkan ada di dalamnya.” Tak disangka, anak kecil itu menyukainya. Inilah awal mula perkenalan sang pilot dengan pangeran kecil—begitu ia menyebut anak itu.

"This is an amazing book. It was the first and currently only book I have read in French. It's concepts are easy to understand but complex enough to be entertaining for adults. It's one of my favorites. "

"I avoided this book for so many years because, frankly, the art style made it look boring to me. Had no idea what it was about. Then today I read it for a Goodreads challenge and my life was changed. What age this is meant for, I have no idea, but it resonates with me so deeply as an adult. Am I going to bed depressed now? Sure, but I loved it all the same and definitely plan to look into his other books!"
