Overview
The world is a socially complicated place, and kids need help navigating its challenges. After 35 years of teaching and parenting, I’ve had the privilege of reaching hundreds of young children with puppets and storytelling, and seen the impact these lessons have had on their lives. Our hope is to expand that reach and bring Stinky Tales to children everywhere. With your help, we can. Let's work together to grow good people.

How might the world be different if all children learned to face social and emotional challenges with honesty and empathy?  Addressing this question in my storytelling and teaching has been my life’s work.  We want to share Stinky Tales with a wider audience, entertaining and empowering kids everywhere.

The Story Behind Stinky Tales

 

Our original songs are upbeat and engaging (not condescending), and carry the core message of each episode.  Like our stories, our music is both kid-friendly and music-lover approved.
