What is 'Into The Uncut Grass' about?
According to Pan Macmillan South Africa, Trevor's book is an illustrated fable book about "forgiveness, acceptance, and the secret to solidarity".
"Evocative of allegories and fables like 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland', 'The Little Prince and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse', this book will deliver the wit and wisdom that the South African comedian is known for in every medium," the publisher said in a statement.
It's illustrated by Christopher Myers
Trevor Noah has teamed up with award-winning illustrator Christopher Myers to bring his "magical story" to life. Christopher is well-known in the children’s literature space.
He has illustrated several books, including 'Harlem: A Poem, a Caldecott Honor Book' which earned him a prestigious Caldecott Medal - an honour given to the "most distinguished American picture book for children".
It's inspired by Trevor's childhood
Trevor Noah's book is inspired by his childhood and his mother, Patricia Noah.
"‘Few memories in my life bring me more joy than the first few books I read as a child. Either with my mom or reading alone, those simple stories shaped so much of how I saw the world. I hope this story can bring a little bit of that same joy to readers of all ages," Trevor said.
Pan Macmillan is confident the former 'The Daily Show' host's book will delight young and old readers alike.
