LITTLE PEOPLE BIG DREAMS ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the talented pilot and writer.

Little Antoine grew up in Lyon, France. Ever since he was a young boy, he dreamt of becoming a pilot. He soon joined the French military where he finally got his chance to learn. He spent a short time in the Air Force before leaving to become a mail pilot, all the while writing about his adventures.

However, in 1935, he crashed in the desert during a flight from Paris to Saigon. With little food and water to hand, he became very ill. Fortunately, after four days, he was found by a passerby and nursed back to health. This experience influenced much of Antoine’s future writing.

In WWII, he moved to the United States where he campaigned for France’s freedom from Nazism. During this period, he wrote the Little Prince, a captivating story of love and loss, which went on to become one of the bestselling children’s books of all time.
