Jack White is turning “We’re Going To Be Friends” into a children’s book

Jack White is about to add “children’s author” to his various other credits. (Musician, vinyl producer, guy with his own baseball card.) White’s Third Man Books imprint announced today that it’s releasing We’re Going To Be Friends, a kids’ book version of the classic White Stripes song. It’s not clear if White wrote extended prose for the book, or if it just reprints the lyrics, which recount a cheerful, sleepy day at school. Either way, Elinor Blake, who worked as an animator on Ren And Stimpy and Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and who performs music under the name April March, is illustrating.
