(2) K-3 Little Tonio dreamed of wings that would carry him to adventure. He grew up to become a pilot, flying over Europe and North Africa during wartime and later delivering intercontinental mail. He captured his dreams in poems and novels, completing The Little Prince months before his plane disappeared. Atmospheric text draws on Saint-Exupéry's own writings; rich illustrations depict his hopeful imaginings filling open skies.
