Inspired by a true-life incident, Made By Raffi is the story of a little boy who likes to knit and sew, at first he is teased for his hobby, but in the end he becomes a hero to his class.
Author, Craig Pomranz says, “I wrote the book to support young boys and girls who are perceived as “different” because of their appearance or hobbies. It is a funny colorful book with a serious message and will interest those who care about promoting diversity and embracing our differences, as well as all children seeking to fit in.”
Raffi feels different from the other children at school. He doesn’t like noise and rowdy play. When he discovers the delights of knitting and sewing, he stands out even more. But when he uses these new skills to make a costume for the school play, his classmates become rather more appreciative. A celebration of difference and a challenge to gender stereotypes. Ages 4-7
Recently released in Chinese and Korean the Made by Raffi is now published in 8 languages and 11 countries so far by publisher Quarto’s imprint Frances Lincoln. Award-winning artist Margaret Chamberlain is the illustrator.
