Greta Thunberg’s No One is Too
Small to Make a Difference, especially the speech “Can You Hear Me?”
(delivered in London to the Houses of Parliament on 23 April 2019) evokes
aspects of The Little Prince:
Throughout my life, I have been in touch with
many kinds of serious people. I have
lived a great deal with grown-ups. I
have seen them intimately, close at hand.
And that, I’m afraid hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.[1]
