The Curious Adventures of Mr. Stank Harris Martin

The idea for this story came to me years ago while I was home from college for summer break. I was lounging on my parents? deck when a stinkbug started meandering toward my cell phone. The thought crossed my mind, Who would he try to call? Would he call his wife? Do they have kids? Does he have a wallet on his person containing pictures of all of them? This moment was the genesis of Mr. Stank. Mr. Stank is a unique character, and I believe this could be an informative yet whimsical series for children that would amalgamate learning about daily routines with experiencing different cultures around the globe. The first book is basic and introductory, but I plan to expound the interests and talents of each character. Every book will have a major event, such as a trip abroad or life milestone. Early literacy is essential for healthy brain development and promotes first relationships, which is why I have a fervent desire to positively shape young minds with my books.
