I was 5 years old when my aunt read this book to me and i never forgot about it. Whenever I felt I couldn't do something, i remembered the girl in the story, Margarita, and how she had achieved in getting her star. Another thing that always encouraged me was that the book was written for me: it is dedicated to all brave girls who ventured into the world to achieve their dream. The pictures were beautiful, and I always remembered the story. however, I never saw the book again until i was 13 years old and I was very glad to find it. Now it is very old and I have to buy a new for myself, but definitively, I will pass this book and story to my younger sisters and when I have my daughters. Up to this day, although I am 20 years old, whenever I feel down I read this book and Dario's poetry makes me remember my childhood, where i have come from and what do I have to do. I am very thankful to my aunt for reading me this inspiring book, and hopefully I will read this story to a child who needs it in the future....as I hope you would too.
ps. It is soo charismatic and melancholic as the little prince by saint exupery. |
