Introduction
Born in 1943 in New York, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) is philosophical tale, by French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It is shared from one generation to another for more than 75 years, creating bonds between generations and continents. The Little Prince is a sustainable development icon, a World Peace actor, and a childhood Rights ambassador.

This is the story of a grown-up meeting his inner child, embodied by a Little Prince. Traveling from an asteroid, he left his rose to discover the world. Before landing on Earth he visited many planets and their inhabitants.
