Description: The Little Prince Statue in New York is a charming tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved novella, "The Little Prince." Located in the Library Way, a stretch of 41st Street between Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, the statue captures the whimsical and philosophical essence of the story. Crafted by sculptor Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry, the author's wife, the statue depicts the titular character standing atop a small planet, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. This enchanting piece of public art invites passersby to pause and reflect on the timeless themes of innocence, love, and the importance of seeing with the heart, which are central to the book. The Little Prince Statue not only celebrates a literary classic but also adds a touch of magic and contemplation to the bustling streets of New York City.
