Abstract
The Little Prince is a fairy tale not only for children but also for adults. The author reexamines the importance of children-orientation from the perspective of adults and children and calls for the return of children’s spirit in the adult world.
This thesis analyzes the concept of adult and children in the novel. The article makes it clear that the children have a pure heart and they can be committed to the responsibility of love, while the adult world is grotesque and unjustifiable. We should affirm the existence value of children, respect their values and attitudes toward life and protect their pure heart. As adults, we should also defend our own spiritual home and remain pure.
Keyword: children-orientation; the concept of adult; spiritual home; innocence
