Follow him as he embarks on a strange and wonderful journey to puzzling new planets and finally to Earth, where he discovers the nature of love.

 Adapted for picture book for the first time by an amazing duo; award-winning poet Louise Greig, author of the Greenaway-medal-nominated Sweep and The Night Box, with enchanting new artwork from the critically acclaimed illustrator of The Velveteen Rabbit and Star in the Jar. This stunning new edition published in December and is already capturing everyone’s hearts.

Currently sold in 14 territories:  Denmark, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, Welsh, Ukrainian

‘It’s never too soon to hear that we don’t know what we’ve got till it’s gone, and this pair (and the spirit of Saint-Exupéry) land that message in style.’

Alex O’Connell, The Times

’Retaining the essence of the original story, but pairing it back enough to make it accessible to children makes its key messages shine through. The Little Prince is as charming as ever, and Massini’s artwork superbly captures the surreal world he inhabits. Perfect for curious young readers, it’s a story that will stay with them long after the final page has turned.’

The Scotsman

‘Contemporary but timeless illustrations, a perfect way to bring a classic to the next generation’
