Hi everybody!
“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them” The little prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The little prince is one of my favorite books. I first read it when I was 9 years old and I didn't understand by that time why it is considered to be a masterpiece. I mean the drawings weren't that great. It's only with time that I realized how smart and clever was the book. It's actually one of those books you pick up and blink and 3 hours have passed, 3 hours which make you see things differently and make you lapse into childhood. And in a time of crisis, it's not only a pleasure, it's a necessity! I don't know of another book which illustrates that simplistically the human being in all his complexity and if there is a lesson to be learned it would be that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover! Kids are a lot more farseeing than we think.
Moreover, I have always thought that children should rule the world, I'm pretty sure that we would make fewer mistakes... OK maybe it would be discord but still there would be less crimes.
This post celebrates the children that we - I hope- are still. I wish you would like those pictures! I'll post the second part of this series by the end of this week ;)
I hope everything is going great for you and I apologize for my absence!
