A very beautiful childlike innocence in the pages.
It really is just about a pilot encountering a child, the little prince, when his airplane crashed and then the prince told him so many funny stories about where he came from, the people and things he met and then he left the main character with the wisdom and the fact that he would always be among the stars.
This book is literally raved about throughout my life and only recently did I decide to pick it up. So many good quotes and the best takeaway for me is that care is something you can always give and that makes the thing you're caring for so much more precious even if there are hundreds like it. You are also responsible for the things you've built a relationship with, because much like you have done so, they have also done the same. Handle everything with care and kindness.
