The Gorp is the primary character in a series of books written by Sherri Chessen. She wrote the books to help young children deal with difficult issues, such as gun safety, sexual abuse, and bullying. See the Gorp’s website at www.thegorp.com
Two FFS have been making things for the Advocacy Center and the staff there asked us if we could knit and crochet this character. We contacted the author and she gladly supported the project.
A KFO knitter designed and created a pattern to send a toy Gorp to the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center because they use the Gorp books to help children in their care who have suffered from sexual abuse with their recovery process. Jane made some crochetted Gorps.
