SUMMARY

Every morning, the Little Prince wakes up and takes care of his volcano, his rose and his planet. While the Prince's planet is much smaller than our own (there, one only needs to turn their chair to catch a sunrise), we can still apply his "discipline" to "tend to" our home. As Fondation Antoine de Saint-Exupéry pour la Jeunesse explains, "a strange ‘sense of urgency’ encourages us to preserve and protect life, and thus each one of us is called upon to become a planetary gardener who ‘favors’ his rose and ‘walks slowly towards his trees.’"
