Bruce Springsteen Releasing Children’s Book

Bruce Springsteen will release a children’s book this fall based on his song “Outlaw Pete,” which appeared on his 2009 album Working on a Dream.

The book, about a bank-robbing baby, takes the lyrics of the song and pairs them with illustrations by Frank Caruso.

“The first time I heard the song, this book played out in my head,” said Caruso. “Like Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Dorothy Gale and for me, even Popeye, Outlaw Pete cuts deep into the folklore of our country and weaves its way into the fabric of great American literary characters.”

This isn’t The Boss’ first time to try his hand at a new kind of art. In July, he released his directorial debut – a short film titled Hunter of Invisible Game – also based on one of his songs.
