We finished The Little Prince

We finished reading The Little Prince tonight. I had read it a long time ago but had forgotten how it had ended. I had a hard time reading out loud tonight because the ending is so sad. I think W found it to be really sad too. He kept rubbing his eyes and I don’t think it was because he was sleepy (although he probably was tired after a full day of snowboarding with his dad). C had read it on her own a few weeks ago and hadn’t really understood what had happened to The Little Prince at the end.
I am left with a lot of questions myself. I googled for more information on the novella but I have yet to find any good answers to my questions. It turns out that The Little Prince is one of the top 50 most popular books in the world. I believe it was #26. I have memorized one of the lines from the book:
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
