I really wasn’t familiar with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, although of course I had read ‘A Little Prince’, so this book was a good chance to learn about the interesting life of the author. As always with this series, the illustrations were beautiful and expressive, and I think this would make a perfect gift for my god-daughter, especially alongside a beautiful copy of Antoine’s classic beloved tale!

de Saint-Exupéry is more well-known in some places; usually if The Little Prince is popular somewhere, d S-E is appreciated there.
I picked this up because I like The Little Prince and grew up with much appreciation for the author, and I wanted to share this experience with my child.
An equally cute and inspiring book about the author who created The Little Prince.

This is a great addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series - with a more obscure and not as easily recognized historical character. I'm not familiar with Antoine and his children's story, but the story in these pages definitely illustrates someone who had big dreams and lived life according to those dreams. The story paints a beautiful picture of someone who let their dreams guide their life and choices and I loved the ending quote from the children's story - "Let your dream devour your life, not your life devour your dream."

There were a lot of great life lessons highlighted in a way that children would be able to digest and apply. The illustrations are great and support the story - adding context to the words on the page. Overall a beautifully well done story that fits really well into this series of books. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read & review this book!

I buy so many of these books for my nieces and nephews and I loved this edition. I'll for sure be gifting this one to them as well. The facts are always so interesting and I learn more about these individuals every time I read these books. Also, the illustrations are so cute. I knew little about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, so I was curious to learn more!

Another HIT from Little People Big Dreams! Illustrations are beautiful and the story is detailed enough to keep me super interested.

I must admit, I was not familiar with Antoine de Saint-Exupery prior to reading this story. Well, I was familiar with a book he wrote, but not with his name or his story.

I love that this book teaches that even little kids can dream big, because your dreams can come true! Antoine wrote a book that became incredibly well known around the world.

This is a fun children's book discussing the story of the pilot, Antoine De Saint-Exupery. The illustrations are very cute and eye-catching. I think children will absolutely enjoy this book and learn quite a bit about his life. I was not familiar with him and enjoyed learning about him.

This is part of a series of biographies, Little People, Big Dreams written by this author that are well researched and engaging. I am consistently impressed with this series, I actively look forward to new additions and so far I haven't been disappointed by any of the ones I have read. I love that the series profiles very well known people as well as other notable people who people might not be as familiar with.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I absolutely adore the Little People, Big Dreams series, and the book about Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is no exception.
Well written and with beautiful illustrations, the story caters to children and adults alike and makes for a wonderful and informative read.

This is a real adventure filled children’s book detailing the life of the author of The Little Prince.

However there is much more to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry than this simple fact. From a little romantic boy to the brave pilot defending his country.

With a mix of easy to follow text and illustrations that reflect his love of flight and realising his dreams.

As I shared the story with my grandchildren we were all finding out about a special person. A poor pupil in school he was unable to follow a formal career path but having joined the army his ambitions were fulfilled. He learned to fly and once in the clouds he could translate his experiences and imagination onto paper.

I was surprised to learn that he was already an author before he penned the wonderful The Little Prince.

“Let your dreams devour your life
not your life devour your dreams”.

He lived out this, throughout his life, and his story is truly inspiring for children, to reach for the stars!

I say it every time - I just love the 'Little People Big Dreams' books.

I wanted to read this book as I have never heard of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the pilot outfit on the cover really intrigued me.
It wasn't until I got to that moment in the book when I realised Antoine was the writer of 'The Little Prince' - I really liked the fact that I didn't know this going into the book as it meant I really got to know the context of the 'Little Prince' being written. Really intrigued by Antoine's life and now want t delve a bit deeper. Sounds very complex - too complex to go into detail in this little people big dreams book aimed at children.

As usual the illustrations were colourful and charming.

One of my fav books in the collection! Definitely want to find out more now! Very intrigued!

A nice biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The writing level is perfect for young audiences and really provides a good write up of his background and how his life experiences influenced his writing.

I love these biographies. I am not a huge fan of Antoine de Saint-Exupery but I thoroughly enjoyed this biography!

It is a fantastic way to get kids interested in biographies.

I would love to add it to my library.

Thank you to Net Galley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the eARC!

My son and I always enjoy reading a book together from this series. We didn't know anything about Antoine before starting this book and enjoyed learning about his life. As always with this series the text and illustrations were great.

Sanchez Vergara does it again! These books are always a favorite for my three young boys, and this was no exception. I am a longtime fan of The Little Prince, so I enjoyed more backstory on the author's life. My favorite line, though, was when Sanchez Vergara defined "romanticism" as waking up "excited to find the magic in every day." What a lovely way to summarize a philosophical and artistic movement!

Really great story about the author of The Little Prince!

I didn't make the connection until halfway through the book, but it was cool to learn about the life of the author who wrote a well-loved children's book. Now I want to go find his other books as well!

Great illustrations, the information was easy to digest for little kids. The timeline with more information at the back of the book was a great addition.

This is a short read and would make a great introduction into reading biographies.

I love the books in this series and always find something new in them.

This was a book that focused on a children's author who wrote The Little Prince.

I knew about his books, but nothing really about the man himself so this was a great one for me.
I didn't realise that he had done quite so much and he had a fairly varied life too.

A great way to introduce his books to a younger generation.
Lovely images and another great addition to the series - 5 stars from me for this one

Another great piece in the Little People, Big Dreams series. This book about French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry briefly tells his story and the origin story of worldwide sensation "The Little Prince". The illustrations were lovely, even though I expected a bit more of a "dreamy" quality to them.
A recommended read!

I'm an older adult who has loved the story of The Little Prince since I was a young child. This is such a wonderful little biography about a little boy with a big imagination who grew up to be a hero. It's especially heartbreaking thinking of the story of The Little Prince when its author never made it back from the war.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Excellent biography with lots of information I never knew. Well written, well illustrated, and fascinating. Sometimes I read these brief books and I learn how much I don't know. So, lots of good information in a little package about people I should know more about. And now I do.

This another excellent children’s biography in the Little People Big Dreams series. As an adult I learned new facts about this great hero and author. Highly recommended!

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.
