Paul is releasing a children's book
Sir Paul McCartney is to release his first children's book later this year following a publishing deal with Penguin Books, soundgenerator can report.
The former Beatle, who launches into a huge North American tour later in September, has spent the last few years working on the picture book, titled 'High In the Clouds: An Urban Furry Tale'.
"Having worked on this story and the characters for many years, it's very exciting for me to see things come to fruition in what I think will be a remarkable book," said Paul McCartney in a statement.
McCartney collaborated with veteran children's author Philip Ardagh for the project, along with animator Geoff Dunbar. The story for 'High in the Clouds' was reportedly inspired by the animated film "Tropic Island Hum", which McCartney worked on alongside Dunbar,
The book will initially be released across the US on October 4, 2005, with an initial print run of 500,000 copies. "This is going to be a major best-seller for us, said Doug Whiteman, the President of Penguin Young Readers Group.
"I know that a whole new generation of readers will become fans of Paul."
Oh don't you just love that? I'm so going to buy that for my kids.
