Maurice Druon

Where Tristou touches, flowers grow. He makes flowers grow in slums, prisons, and hospitals. His masterpiece: he causes the guns to shoot flowers and a senseless war is ended. It is then that the people discover he was an angel.

Found this old book among my things while cleaning up today. Nostalgia took over me, as it was one of my childhood favorites. Decided to reread it, and was pleasantly surprised, because it felt as relevant to me, now an adult, as it did so many years ago.

This little book is so sweet, addressing major issues through the eyes of a child.

You take something from it if you're 10, and it still has new things to tell you when you're 26.
