The Tale of the Rose
I went to the library with Amanda the other day and I found the little bitty shelf where they keep The Little Prince and other books by Saint-Exupery. *big smiles* I love The Little Prince :) Anyways. I found a book called The Tale of the Rose (the Passion that inspired The Little Prince) written by Antoine's wife, Consuelo de Saint-Exupery. Its really good so far.
"When you're not laughing, your hair grows sad," he told me. "Your hair tires out quicker than anything else about you. Your curls droop like sleepy children. It's curious: when you light up and start telling stories about magic and circuses and the volcanoes in El Salvador, your hair comes alive again, too. If you want to be beautiful, you must always laugh. Promise me that tonight you won't let your hair fall asleep."
