No One Likes a Fart

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE 2018 ABIA PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR

A sweet, funny story about accepting yourself and finding a friend who loves you just the way you are. Mostly, though, it's about a fart. And fart jokes. Loooots of fart jokes.

Fart is excited! He's desperate to make friends and have fun.

But no one likes a fart. Not even a fart with a heart. Too smelly. Too embarrassing. Too gross.

Zoë Foster Blake has written lots of grown-up books, none of which mention a single fart. She is the mother of two little people and a cat with a permanently cranky face. She wants it known that despite writing this book, she still doesn't like farts, even if her husband Tooty McFluffson refuses to acknowledge this.

'Just like a powerful, unidentified fart, Foster Blake's book has everyone talking.'MAMAMIA

'Who would have thought a story about farts and burps could be so heartwarming?'SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

'A beautifully written book that will have you in hysterics.' — JAMES WRIGHT, IMPULSE GARNER

'Young children just beginning to read will love this book.' — DAISY CHEIN, MELBOURNE'S CHILD
