Overview
A girl with a big secret tries to hide her farts from the village—and learns to harness her powerful wind for good—in this funny and charming picture book based on a real Korean folktale, with an author’s note sharing more about the story’s origins.
There once lived a girl with a terrible secret: She has the biggest, loudest, most thunderous farts! The kaboom of her winds wreaks havoc on her village, waking up sleeping babies, blowing away chickens, ducks, and goats, and making the ground rumble.
To stop her secret from getting out, she decides to hold in her farts. But soon... gurgle... she can't help but let loose the truth—and the biggest fart of all. After her neighbors drive her out of town in horror, they come to realize the error of their ways: her farts weren't just thunderous, they helped keep the town running! Perhaps her farts are not something to hold back, but a toot-worthy talent that can help villagers far and wide.
