Star Wars Epic Yarns: A New Hope

By Jack Wang and Holman Wang

Jedi apprentices and little princesses will delight in this (heart)felt retelling of the Star Wars saga. And so will Star Wars fans of any age! The series launches with the original trilogy, and every word counts in these small but perfectly formed yarns. That's because each volume features 12 iconic scenes, handcrafted in felt and pithily summarized in just a single word. The attention to detail is eye-opening; the proportions are just-right for small hands; the fun is guaranteed. In A New Hope, Princess Leia sends a hologram message through R2-D2, Luke Skywalker will learn how to use a lightsaber, and our heroes triumph.

Reviews for Star Wars Epic Yarns

[muumuumousie · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This one is likely going to be a lot of fun . . . for the parent. I don’t know how much a child will get out of it, but the pictures are cute. Perfect for a family of Star Wars fans.

These books are simple in concept but amazing in execution. It’s a board book and each page has 1 word, but the time and effort that goes into creating these felt creations is amazing. My favorite creation in this book is Hans and Greedo sitting in the cantina.#WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer +16
