Sir Paul McCartney’s children’s book about the adventures of a squirrel is set to be turned into an animated film.

The 66-year-old Beatles star will reportedly also be penning tracks for the new film version of High in the Clouds.

The film will be directed by Rob Minkoff, who also worked on animated films The Lion King and Stuart Little.

McCartney’s book was published in 2005 and was co-written by Philip Ardagh. It follows the journey of Wirral The Squirrel, who is looking for an animal sanctuary.

Michael Lynne, who is working on the project, said: “Paul said he would commit a score of original songs as part of it.”
