The publishers of this series of books know what they are doing at this point. Sanchez Vegara was able to condense Antoine's life into a short number count that is great for young readers. It helps share things about his life that people may not have been aware of, including that sometimes plans don't go how you think they will and you have to pivot. A great, short read.

Thanks to Quorto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

This is another beautifully illustrated and inspiring book for children in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. It features the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a pilot and writer who's most famous book is the children's classic 'The Little Prince'. I enjoyed learning more about his life story. A great book for young readers!

Another lovely book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series. I loved learning more about Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and his early life. The illustrations are adorable and the author does a fantastic job of making young Antoine relatable.

Thanks to NetGalley, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and Quarto Publishing for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own.

A well-written, well-illustrated short biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, perfect for young readers and young dreamers alike.

I have read a little prince, but I didn't know that much about the author himself so this was nice. I always like the emphasis on the fact that whilst he might not have done the best at school, and didn't know what he was going to do with his life, he ended up doing something amazing. I think a lot of kids might resonate with that.

Fantastic work about the well-known French children’s author. This book starts magically with a beautiful blue sky, puffy white clouds and a man in an airplane. The gentle tone of the book allows readers to follow Saint-Ex’s life through an idyllic childhood to first adventures in flying and finally to his career in the French armed forces. Beautiful drawings and well written.
