A story of a newborn fart that delivers an important and heartfelt message about everyone being valuable.
A new being searches for its place in the world. Everyone he meets seems to know their purpose. Smoke warns of danger. Perfume makes everyone a bit fancier. Summer Breeze brings freshness in its wake…But what possibly could be the purpose of the newcomer?
He drifts about in search of a clue and then a sudden burst of laughter guides him towards the most meaningful answer.
Fatherhood prompted Pete Riski to create this heartfelt story to convey the important message to children about everyone being valuable. Pete’s story pairs beautifully with James Martin’s colourful illustrations that give the perfect visual prompts to the children listening to the story.
