Jonah Larson of LaCrosse Wisconsin is a young entrepreneur and author who taught himself to crochet at age 5. By age 11, he had a large global YouTube following and published his book, Hello, Crochet Friends! Demand for his crocheted items became so large that he closed shop and began designing apparel and memorabilia, which can be found in his online shop, Jonah’s Hands. Hello, Crochet Friends! Making Art, Being Mindful, Giving Back: Do What Makes You Happy shares Jonah’s story of how crochet has changed his life from his adoption to his struggles in school to his budding business. It also shares the art of crochet and the both his own creations and those of friends he’s made around the world. This will be the first is a series of books about “Rock Star Kids” who do incredible things. This could be a good book to pair with a visit to the Textile Center Galleries.
