Goodreads asked Jason J. Marchi:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jason J. Marchi My most recent published book is THE GROWING SWEATER. I got the idea for it in a flash when my mother casually told me one day, many years ago, that she once knitted a sweater for my father (before I was born) that kept stretching every time she washed and dried it. It was a eureka! moment and I instantly knew it would make a fun kid's picture book, and I instantly envisioned the major final image of the book, which actually became the second to last image once I committed the story to paper.
