This November, Jack White will introduce young music lovers to the beloved White Stripes  song “We’re Going To Be Friends” with his first children’s book of the same name and inspired by its lyrics. Jack and Third Man Books will celebrate the book with pre-release readings and signings at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 4th at 2pm and at Barnes & Noble’s Upper West Side store located on Broadway and 82nd Street in New York City on Saturday, November 11th at 11am. Along with Jack, the book’s illustrator Elinor Blake (a.ka. April March) will be on hand for the signings and as a special guest DJ at both events.
