The Stench — A Story of Life, Poor Decisions, and… Well, Crap
 
Life is messy—not just because of accidents, but because of the choices we make. The Stench is a beautifully illustrated, thought-provoking story about how we create our own chaos, one small decision at a time. Told through the journey of a parent and child, this lyrical book explores the little messes that build into bigger ones: broken trust, missed opportunities, and self-made struggles. As the pile grows, so does the realization that cleaning up isn’t just about sweeping things under the rug—it’s about taking responsibility, making better choices, and learning from our mistakes. With warm illustrations and a heartfelt message, The Stench is a touching reminder for readers young and old that while life will always be messy, how we handle it is what truly matters.
