Gavin Friday Bücher

Relive the magic of Peter and the Wolf through a modern retelling by award-winning musicians Gavin Friday and Bono. When a wolf is spotted in the woods, Peter's grandfather warns him to stay home. Mourning a lost parent, Peter decides to venture into the dark woods in search of the creature. This retelling takes children aged 7-9 on an adventure while exploring themes of love and loss. With spellbinding punk rock illustrations, it serves as a reminder that hope exists after loss and that those we love are never truly gone. This rendition offers a dynamic new perspective on Prokofiev's classic tale, featuring magical graphic novel-esque illustrations. It sensitively addresses the theme of loss, helping children understand and navigate it. The book is a treasured keepsake, adorned with vivid illustrations and a red ribbon, making it a timeless gift. Written by Gavin Friday and featuring stunning visuals inspired by Bono's original illustrations, it also includes an animated short film. In Prokofiev's tale, Peter outsmarts the wolf, capturing him and parading him with the hunters. However, this retelling diverges from that ending, echoing the message of courage central to the original while gently introducing themes of grief and growing up, aiding young readers in navigating these complex emotions.

„Früh am Morgen öffnete Peter die Gartentür und trat hinaus auf die große grüne Wiese.“ So beginnt das berühmte musikalische Märchen von Peter und dem Wolf, in dem der mutige Peter mit Hilfe seiner Freunde den bösen Wolf fängt. Ein Orchester erzählt die Geschichte, indem jede Figur von einem anderen Instrument repräsentiert wird. Die Illustrationen stammen vom Ilon Wikland, die eine stimmige und warmherzige Bildwelt zu „Peter und der Wolf“ geschaffen hat.
