Never Trust a Fart

Description

Accidents happen.
Embarrassment happens.
But shame doesn’t have to stick around.

When Crutch confidently lets out what he thinks is just a tiny toot… things take a turn. A squishy, world-stopping, “please-let-no-one-notice” kind of turn.

In Never Trust a Fart, kids laugh out loud as Crutch navigates one of childhood’s most universal (and least talked about) experiences: an unexpected accident at school.

But beneath the giggles is something powerful.

This story helps children:

• Normalize embarrassing moments
• Build resilience after mistakes
• Develop self-awareness and body awareness
• Practice empathy instead of teasing
• Learn that one awkward moment doesn’t define who they are

Perfect for:

– Kids ages 5-9
– Classroom read-alouds
– Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons
– Reluctant readers who love silly humor
– Parents helping kids cope with school anxiety
– Teachers addressing kindness and empathy

Because here’s the truth:
Every child will eventually have a moment that feels like “Trouble Town.”

What they need most isn’t shame.
It’s laughter.
It’s perspective.
It’s a reminder that they’re still awesome.

Funny, honest, and surprisingly heartfelt, Never Trust a Fart turns an awkward childhood milestone into a confidence-building, resilience-boosting experience kids will want to read again and again.

And yes… it’s very, very funny.
