    I Can't Stop Tooting: A Love Story is a classic illustrated children's book for up to 7 years old. It's a reader book about love, acceptance, and farting. I mean what kid doesn't love farting. It's objectively hilarious, but this book has so much more. It's a tale about a girl who is shut off from society. Nobody likes her because she stinks. Then she meets a boy that shows her that you don't need everybody to like you as long as the right people do. In today's world, children need to know that they are accepted. This is a great tale that tells that message loud and clear. There's also farting. Lots of farting.

But before you think the book is wholly depressing, don't worry. I don't roll like that. I take wholly depressing stories, then injecting humor and warmth into them. I'm like John Green meets Kurt Vonnegut, or at least that's who I aspire to be one day...they both have amazing hair.
