Jerome Pumphrey

Jerome Pumphrey and Jarrett Pumphrey are not only Langston Hughes words-out-of-pictures children, they're brothers! They carve and stomp and stamp out books such as It's a Sign!, Somewhere in the Bayou, The Old Boat, and The Old Truck, which was named a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly and was awarded an Ezra Jack Keats Honor.

Jarrett moves and grooves near Austin, Texas.

Jerome bebops outside of Clearwater, Florida.
