Little People, Big Dreams: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This picture book biography is the latest in a celebrated series, rooting adult successes in childhood lessons. Growing up, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry struggled in school; he failed his Naval Academy entrance exams and found little career success. In the army, he got his pilot’s license, flying mail worldwide until WWII pulled him into the French Air Force. Despondent after France’s surrender, Antoine wrote The Little Prince at the suggestion of a friend in New York, and a children’s classic was born.
