In his picture book debut, Dan Brown welcomes readers into a melodious world of humor, wisdom, and discovery. Ages 4-8

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Before Dan Brown became an author, he played and wrote music. The son of musicians and teachers, he grew up attending concerts, singing in choirs, and playing classical piano. He believes music is a kind of storytelling, and he’s thrilled to be able to share this new tale with young readers. 

Dan will be in conversation with Petra Mayer, Editor, NPR Books.

Petra Mayer is an editor (and the resident nerd) at NPR Books, focusing on fiction, and particularly genre fiction. She brings to the job passion, speed-reading skills, and a truly impressive collection of Doctor Who doodads. You can also hear her on the air and on the occasional episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour.

Purchase of Wild Symphony from Politics and Prose is required to attend the event.

A signed bookplate will be sent with each book, while supplies last.
