Working for Peanuts: The Project Linus Story

In 1995, Karen Loucks Rinedollar had a simple idea: what if children facing illness, trauma, or uncertainty could each receive a handcrafted blanket of their own? Inspired by the beloved Peanuts character Linus and his security blanket, Karen launched Project Linus from her Colorado home. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Volunteers across the country rallied around Karen's vision, and Project Linus grew into a nationwide movement that has now delivered more than 10 million handcrafted blankets to children in need. Working for Peanuts is the inspiring true account of how one woman's belief that kindness matters — and that one person can change the world — became a reality.
