Description from book:
My father is a huge Beatles fan. When I was growing up, we listened to their albums together and so I became a big Beatles fan too. When I started designing amigurumi dolls, I wanted to make toys that were challenging and would represent the things that I love the most. I chose to make the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Turtles as homage to one of the Beatles’ most iconic album covers.
