Il piccolo principe

This is the story of an aviator who, after being forced to land in the desert due to a malfunction, encounters a strange little boy who first asks him to draw a sheep. The boy comes from space and left his small planet because he felt too lonely there; his only companion was a rose, who was very demanding, vain, and bold. The book is aimed at children and “all grown-ups who were once children but have forgotten,” as the author states in the dedication of the book.
