So far I'm thinking this book is ridiculously good, and it's interesting that it's by an author known for writing a children's book.

I've actually been meaning to read The Little Prince forever. I've had a very specific purpose for it- I had wanted it to be the first book I read in French. But, as life goes, brushing up on the language and spending enough time learning more to then attempt that hasn't ever happened so far. Ah well. Maybe one day it will, or maybe I'll just read the English translation. I'm now definitely interested to see how an author who writes Wind, Sand and Stars would write something so famous for children.
