Imagine you could hand every person on Earth just one book.
That’s where Frank and Ismar found themselves in this conversation—tossing around ideas, weighing meaning against impact.
Ismar’s first thought? The Bible, simply because it has reached more people than any other. But then he settled on something far gentler: The Little Prince. On the surface, it’s a children’s tale. In truth, it’s a quiet mirror for grown-ups—full of small, shining lessons about innocence, purpose, compassion, and the courage to look inward.
Still, Ismar doesn’t wear rose-tinted glasses. He wonders: if even the most sacred texts haven’t changed human nature or ended conflict, how could this slim story? His mind drifts to Brazil in the 1980s, then back to the present, tracing the patterns that seem to repeat themselves no matter how many wise words we read.
And yet—there’s the “and yet.” He believes The Little Prince could still nudge people toward reflection, kindness, and a little more humanity in their own corner of the world.
Not to fix everything. Just to plant a seed.
Because sometimes, one small seed is enough.
