In this episode of Storycomic Presents, I sit down with Gene Roberts (aka one of the creators behind Zander Van Duff) to talk about The Grok of the Rock, a charming rhyming adventure for little readers. We’ll explore what inspired the Groks Sidney and Harry, the power of “underdog” stories, and why being small has its own kind of strength. Plus: how Gene and his collaborators crafted rhymes, illustrations, and action that young kids can feel while reading again and again. If you're into children’s books, poetry, or helping kids grow confidence through story, this episode is for you.
