Holman: The idea of photographing needle-felted figures came to me in a moment of inspiration. I started thinking about how board books might appeal to adults and children alike, and that’s when I came up with the idea of abridging classics into word primers. Jack: After my older daughter was born, I read a lot of word primers about colours, shapes and barnyard animals, which got a little old. ![]() How did you come up with the idea to use felt? And why baby books? I have now gone back and looked at your classics in felt.

The series includes A Star Wars Epic Yarns: A New Hope Star Wars Epic Yarns: Return of the Jedi Star Wars Epic Yarns: The Empire Strikes Back and each volume features 12 iconic scenes, handcrafted in felt and summarized in just a single word.

Raincoast Books invited me to speak with Vancouver twins Holman and Jack Wang, whose new series Star Wars Epic Yarns came out April 14.
