A pilot down in the Sahara meets a small boy who asks him to draw a sheep. The boy has come from a tiny planet with three volcanoes and a rose he loves and has left behind, and he describes the grown-ups he met on the planets in between: a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman counting stars.

Saint-Exupéry published it in 1943, and it has become one of the most translated books ever written. It is short enough to read aloud and lands differently at every age.

What the fox teaches about taming, and why being responsible for someone creates the bond.
Why the rose matters to the prince although it is not unique.
What each grown-up on the planets represents, from the businessman to the lamplighter.
How the drawing of the boa constrictor sets up the book’s whole argument about seeing.
Why the ending is left ambiguous, and how it reads differently to children and adults.
What the line about the essential being invisible to the eye means in context.
