Publisher Description
An incredible retelling of the well-loved classic story Peter and the Wolf—with a twist. Enter the fairy-tale world first created by Sergei Prokofiev and now reimagined into an enchanting graphic masterpiece of love and loss by award-winning musicians, Gavin Friday and Bono.
When a wolf is found roaming the woods, Peter’s grandfather warns him to stay at home. But Peter, who is mourning the loss of a parent, decides to venture into the deep, dark woods in search of this creature.
In Prokofiev’s original tale, Peter outsmarts the big, bad wolf, capturing him, and parading him victoriously around the town with the hunters. But this is not our ending, and nothing is the way it seems…
This extraordinary retelling echoes the message of courage that is so central to the famous classic, while gently introducing themes of loss, grief, and growing up, helping young readers navigate them. With its spellbinding punk rock illustrations, this book is a beautiful reminder that there is hope after loss and those we love most are never truly gone.
A timeless and magical gift book, Peter and the Wolf is a book to be treasured by all.
Customer Reviews
Peter and the wolf
I thought this was an awesome book and retelling it in away to help little children cope with their fears and grief. Over coming fear is hard and so is grief and getting the message out to let them know they are not alone and there is help ❤️. I am not sure if I even read the book when I was a child and perhaps I thought the title was scary because wolves are scary. You and Bono retelling the story is definitely a winner 🥇. Thanks and yes losing your mother is very difficult and hard to get over. My mom died in 2008 and I still miss her today but I have learned to cope with her death and I know she still lives with in me and all my memories of my mom too❤️❤️ ( when my mom died I felt like an orphan even though I have brothers and sisters I felt alone)
