Travel the world in this toot-ally hilarious romp of a picture book following the most destructive fart ever, perfect for fans of No One Likes a Fart!

When Eddie’s dad lets out a ground-shakingly shocking fart, the family knows it’s about to take the world by stinky storm. And only Eddie and his dad can stop it…

Get ready for a wind-breaking, rip-roaring, globe-spanning adventure to catch the troublesome toot!

Perfect for children (and adults) who love a little potty humor! Written by—but not inspired by—Matt Coyne, bestselling author and creator of the Man vs. Baby blog, with explosive illustrations by Richard Merritt.
Matt Coyne (he/him) is from Sheffield and lives in South Yorkshire. He has almost half a million followers on social media and is the author of a novel called Frank and Red, as well as two Sunday Times bestselling nonfiction books inspired by his award-winning parenting blog and social media profile, Man vs. Baby. He has also written for The Guardian, Private Eye, and GQ. My Dad and the Toot That Shook the World is his first children's book. Follow Matt on Facebook and Instagram @manversusbaby.

Award-winning artist Richard Merritt (he/him) has been an illustrator for over twelve years after graduating from Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Kingston University. Richard has worked with many publishing houses, magazines, design groups, advertising agencies, and more on a wide variety of projects, including children's books, packaging, editorial art, and costume illustration for film. He recently worked on the Steven Spielberg adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic story The BFG, and has been at the forefront of the adult coloring book trend that has gained popularity across the world.
