Synopsis

A vividly illustrated bedtime story that shows how the unconditional love of a mother can be tested through the relentless questions of her little boy.

"But Mama, but Mama, what if I were a super smelly skunk, and I smelled so bad that my name was Stinky Face?"

Mothers love their children and this unconditional love is truly tested in I LOVE YOU, STINKY FACE. Lisa McCourt and Cyd Moore beautifully weave a reassuring tale of the love and affection of a parent. The imaginative son turns himself into a meat-eating dinosaur, a swamp creature and much, much more before being satisfied with the fact that no matter how stinky he is or how slimy of a creature he could possibly be, he is loved and nothing will change that.

About this title

From the Author

Stinky Face exploded into being almost instantaneously!
As I first read the manuscript to "Stinky", I was making little sketches in the margins and on the back of the paper. This story just lit almost every creative spark in me, and illustrating it was a total delight. How often does an artist get to draw an alligator, a skunk, an ape, and a cyclops all in the same book? Kids, parents, and even boyfriends really seem to love this one. One mom even told me that she had given this book to her teenage son on mother's day. Other parents have told me that they have curled up cozy and read this book every night for 2 years. That really makes me happy. Night after night some little person gets assured that somebody loves them, no matter how big and bad they might have been that day. Even when we're old and gray, we like to hear those words! I'm glad people have discovered this book and I encourage everyone to read it to someone they love no matter what...the story is just wonderful, and the illustrations downright excellent!!!
