“Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”

“Here is my secret. It is very simple. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.“

The Fox is coming to you in honor of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s powerful story, Le Petit Prince.

The Little Prince is a story that makes you sit in one place motionless as a child, as you imagine yourself being the little prince listening to the fox. But reading the story again and again as a grown-up stops you in your tracks even more so. It leads you into a deep and meaningful contemplation. I think it is because now you have lived experiences of your own to ponder. While as a child, you wished to explore the world the way the little prince has.

Talking about interspecies communication, this is what the fox tells the little prince: “If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world..." The fox in the Mignon family looks different from the one in the story. But what do you know?! To this day, I have one stuffed animal on my bed. I kid you not! It is the fox from The Little Prince.
