For Jesus “the little ones” are those who are not so full of their own wisdom that they are oblivious to the revelations of God.  Like children, they are always open to learning and are amazed at what can help them to grow in understanding the world around them.  These are the people that Jesus invites to hear his world and to come to know Father.  Even when they might find that difficult, he assures them, and us, that his “burden is light.”  In other words, he is always there to help us, to walk with us, and to share our journey.
