Musician, director, comedian and New Jersey symbol, now Bruce Springsteen can add “children’s author” to his résumé too.

Springsteen has teamed with writer and cartoonist Frank Caruso to turn his song “Outlaw Pete” into a book for kids. Outlaw Pete will be released on 4 November through Simon & Schuster - inspired by Brave Cowboy Bill, which Springsteen’s mother used to read to him as a child.

“Outlaw Pete is essentially the story of a man trying to outlive and outrun his sins,” Springsteen says in a press statement.
