There will be a world premiere concert of Wild Symphony, with further performances to follow around the world. One piece of music has been composed for each animal, intended to be listened to as the book is read. The album, performed by the Zagreb Festival Orchestra in Croatia, will be released with the book. With pictures by Hungarian illustrator Susan Batori, the images include clues and puzzles in the backgrounds “for interested readers of all ages”. Puffin, which will publish the book in the UK, said that each spread in the book “offers a piece of mindful wisdom for navigating life”, covering topics including compassion, patience and respect. The story follows one Maestro Mouse, who visits a series of animal friends, including cheetahs, kangaroos and blue whales. The new work, said the bestselling author, is inspired by classic children’s stories such as Peter and the Wolf, and picture books from his childhood.
