Hello, Crochet Friends!: Making Art, Being Mindful, Giving Back: Do What Makes You Happy
by Jonah Larson, Jennifer Larson
This is an interesting combo book. One the one hand, I like the genre blending. On the other, that makes it hard to give to the right person. The first third is about international adoption, the second third about issues in school and some neurodivergence (though that term isn't used an no diagnosis is shared) , and the final third is actually about how to crochet. It's really more of an autobiography (one ghostwritten by mom) than a crafting book. There is a pattern for a striped washcloth, but it expects the child to be reading it with an experienced crocheter, and does not tell the child how to make any of the stitches or read the pattern. I think it best classed as an autobiography, but it doens't present itself that way. Moreover, as international adoption can be a fraught subject, mom as ghostwriter of a rosy tale for this portion feels problematic.
