It takes place in a school and it is the Young Prince, who arrives with his spiritual, loving and fraternal consciousness and produces small changes that finally manage to increase the entire cohesion of the group and integrate them. In a way, the book seeks for both children and adults to learn that even though we are all different, spiritually we are all brothers and we can live fraternally,” said the author.
