Why publish, why now when the economy is in a slump and “no one is reading?” Because we care. Because we remember the pleasure of sitting beside a loved parent or older sibling as they read us a story. Because we still remember that one special book that transformed our lives. Because when it is too hot (or too cold) to play outside and your friends are all busy, you can curl up with a book and go anywhere your heart desires. Stinky press is an up and coming publisher of children’s picture books, founded in 2008, our mission at stinky press publishing is to make available quality children’s books with a strong story line and evocative illustrations —imaginative and colorful tales to be read out loud by parents or under a blanket with a flash light by kids— books which we hope will contribute to the growth and enjoyment of children and adults alike. We at Stinky Press Publishing feel that today’s brain numbing-multimedia-frenzied “x-boxed” world has left children with little room to express their own creative visions. What could be better than a good story which challenges them to think critically and inspires them to act creatively? Come and take a look at our books. Your kids will love them!


  Grandma's Lost Her Head (Hardcover Children's Picture Book). Story Naty Osa and Illustrations Javier Dura
 
Grandmas lost her head
Naty Osa's latest book, Grandma's Lost Her Head, entertains, warms the heart, and very subtly tells atale of
optimism and tenacity in the face of adversity. Lovingly told and brilliantly illustrated by her son, Javier Dura,
this is a wise tale that makes accessible to the reader the realities both of the frailties of the human bodyand the
enduring strength of familial affections.  The story is loosel autobiographical, based on the author's mother's stroke
and the family's struggle to understand and accept the changes in their beloved mother and grandmother. Set against
Dura's signature fantastic, colorful and charming backgrounds, the story explores a child's range of emotions from
incomprehension to anger and leads him, and us, on a voyage of maturation, acceptance, and perseverance.
This book faces head on the fact that our lives are fragile yet precious and that while illness and loss are inevitable,
memory and family ties can and do survive, sometimes as here, with grace and aplomb. Grandma's Lost Her Head is a
celebration, tender and humorous, of family, imperfect but grand.  It's a must-read for children whose families
may be facing difficult physical or mental health issues.

  La Abuelita Ha Perdido La Cabeza (Libro Infantil Ilustrado). Spanish Edition. Escrito por Naty Osa e Ilustrado por Javier Dura                

La Abuelita ha perdido la cabeza

Spanish Edition!! El último libro de Naty Osa, La abuelita ha perdido la cabeza, entretiene al mismo tiempo que
enternece y, con sutileza, cuenta la vida diaria de una familia que se enfrenta a la adversidad con optimismo y
tenacidad.Narrado con cariño y bellamente ilustrado por su hijo, Javier Durá, éste es un cuento que hace accesible al
lector la realidad tanto de la fragilidad del cuerpo humano como de los lazos afectivos que unen a la familia.
El libro tiene su origen en las experiencias de la familia al intentar comprender y aceptar los cambios en su
madre y abuela después de que ésta sufre un trastorno cerebral. Sobre el contexto creado por los encantadores
dibujos de Durá llenos de colorido y fantasía, la narración explora la gama de emociones de un niño que le
llevan de la confusión al enfado y, finalmente, a una mayor comprensión y aceptación. Este librito se enfrenta
al hecho de que la vida es frágil pero hermosa y que, aunque las enfermedades y las pérdidas son inevitables,
los recuerdos y los lazos familiares perduran, a veces, como en este caso, con gracia y serenidad.
La abuelita ha perdido la cabeza es una celebración, tierna y divertida, de la familia, imperfecta pero hermosa.
