To this day, this is still my favorite book. I love reading it aloud to my daughter. We have fruitful discussions about those inhabitants of the different planets that the little prince went to. Whenever I read it now, I always feel a knot in my heart. I'm not sure if it's sadness or shame. Sadness that I have come to experience becoming almost every one of those characters. Or shame that I have at one point in my life become those characters that I once found silly when I was a kid.
It's a really good practice to re-read books like this. The first time seem to be the best. Then years after, we have a different perspective and we see the stories in a new light.
