Sir Paul McCartney appeared today at New York's Barnes and Noble bookstore to promote his first children's book 'High In The Clouds,' published by Dutton Children's Book a division of Penguin Young Readers Group.

Wirral vows to find the fabled land of Animalia, where all the animals are said to live in freedom and without fear. Aided and abetted by Froggo the hot-air-ballooning frog, Wilhamina the plucky red squirrel, and Ratsy the streetwise rodent, Wirral's personal quest turns into a full-blown plan to save enslaved animals Everywhere -- a plan that is fraught with danger.
