Description
A whimsical piece of home decor that brings a classic story to life! This piece is a tribute to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless masterpiece, The Little Prince, was first published in the United States in 1943 and is one of the best selling and most translated books ever published! We have recreated an iconic drawing from the beginning pages of the book full of observations about life and human nature. The Little Prince. It beautifully captures the essence of imagination—is it a hat, or an elephant inside a boa constrictor? The grown-ups were not able to understand it, but the Little Prince’s drawing of a boa constrictor eating an elephant reminds us to look beyond the obvious and use our imaginations. This stunning collectible is a heartfelt nursery accent and makes a truly unique and meaningful gift for a new baby.
🌟 PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS:
• Solid Wood Construction: Masterfully cut from a single, continuous piece of premium teak for a seamless look.
• Perfect Baby Gift: An ideal heirloom-quality piece for a nursery or child’s room, or an awesome reminder of what the story meant to you personally.
• Handcrafted in Maine: The elephant is nested within the snake. Standing 3.5 inches tall and 12.5 inches long the piece is crafted from a single piece of 1-inch thick teak and finished with durable danish oil. Each piece is handmade in our woodshop in Maine and unique, no two are exactly alike
• Versatile Decor: A charming addition to any bookshelf, mantle, or wall display.

Y’all, when I say my mom cried opening her Mother’s Day present, I am not exaggerating. I could tell that seeing this really made her feel seen and loved. We read The Little Prince together a lot as a kid and this symbol has always been a reminder to maintain the bridge between adulthood and childhood. That’s enough rambling about that. The quality of this piece was great, it was exactly as I hoped, but beyond that, working with this seller was so wonderful. He kept me updated on when the item would ship without me even asking. His responses were always kind in a way that business transactions usually lack. Overall, a perfectly experience from beginning to end.

You’re always concerned when you order handmade items as to what kind of quality you will actually receive. As soon as I saw the item, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. This is for a good friend of mine so my expectations were set very high. When I opened it up and held it in my hands I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear. It far surpassed my expectations. It was perfect and just like I imagined. Very happy with communications from the seller. It was packed well and shipped promptly. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much!

This is absolutely stunning. My favorite book is The Little Prince and so when I saw this, I had to get it. The wood is fantastic quality and smells amazing, everything was wrapped carefully and I can feel the love poured into this project. Ty reached out both when he sent the item and when he was notified that it was delivered, excellent customer service. I will definitely recommend and buy more from them in the future !
