Farty Tales

Emma and her quirky friend Ollie the owl find a dusty old book called A Child's History of Farts in the library of Giggleville. The book whisks them off on a time-traveling adventure across cultures and centuries.

Their stops include ancient Egypt and Tutankhamun, and the mischievous gods of Aztec mythology. They also meet medieval jesters who used toots for comedy, Roman emperors who welcomed flatulence at their feasts, and Mozart, who worked fart humor into his music. Along the way, Emma and Ollie see that farts have played a surprisingly funny part in history, legends and daily life.

Underneath the jokes is a gentler message: laughter is something everyone shares, and it brings people together. The book is aimed at children aged 6 to 10 and combines playful illustrations, funny fart facts from around the world, colorful characters and light historical anecdotes.
