Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey Try Something New

Travis: You likely know brothers Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey from their picture book collaborations The Old Truck and Somewhere in the Bayou. But you might not know that their latest book, Link & Hud: Heroes by a Hair is something quite different: a chapter book/comic mashup.

In this episode, Jarrett and Jerome talk about their path to children’s books (including an early foray in music), and how they created The Old Truck and Link & Hud.
