21世紀的《小王子》
關於離別與珍惜、爭吵與忠誠
小男孩與他最要好的朋友　永難忘懷的生命故事

「我有一隻狐狸，他是我的寶貝。
我們就這樣把他留在森林。
爸爸說這是我們必須做的，真的嗎？」

自七歲那年起，彼得與他的寶貝佩克斯成為最好的朋友。
然而，因為要搬去跟爺爺同住，彼得不得已只好和佩克斯分開。
當彼得一離開佩克斯，他就知道自己錯了！留在森林的佩克斯則相信，彼得只是暫時離開，有一天會回來。

在尋找對方的路上，他們挨餓、受傷、遇到陌生人。彼得扭傷了腳，遇到獨居樹林裡的女士；佩克斯則在樹林裡遇到了一群狐狸，自出生以來沒跟同類相處的他，開始學習和牠們一起奔跑狩獵，漸漸了解自己的天性……

他們，還能回到彼此身邊嗎？

在如詩生動的文字中，透過小男孩與狐狸的雙重視角，本書見證了「愛」，讓堅定的守候昇華為寬容與放手，進而給予彼此更廣闊的世界。一部的重量大作即將跨越人與物之間藩籬，震動你的心扉。
