About The Author

Meet Michael Rosenbaum: Or as he likes to refer to himself as... the guy that you probably don’t know by name, but when you see my face you might say “oh, that guy from that thing.”

Michael Rosenbaum has shared the screen with Bradley Cooper, Kristen Bell, Charlize Theron, Steve Martin, Clint Eastwood and many others. He’s acted in over 20 feature films, including Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Urban Legend, Bringing down the House, and more.

He’s known for portraying what many journalists, fans and the late Stan Lee believed to be the best Lex Luthor.

Rosenbaum shaved his head and transformed himself for the role for seven seasons on the smash hit Smallville.

He is a successful comedian and also the writer and lead singer for the band “Sun Spin”, and is the host of two popular podcasts - Inside of You and Talkville.

About The Illustrator

Heath McKenzie lives and works in a very small suburb in Melbourne, Australia and has worked with numerous clients and publishers worldwide. Along with illustration (which he's been doing professionally since 2003) and writing (which he's been getting away with since 2013) he's managed to sneak in the odd bit of design work along the way.

When not drawing he's busily helping raise a little family with his lovely wife, collecting an unnecessary amount of toys and books and occasionally attempting ambitious culinary feats in the kitchen.
He also enjoys possibly a bit too much tea.

Raves and Reviews

I think farts are really funny. Everyone farts. Yes, even your mom and dad. And your teacher. And your dentist. But the reason farts are so funny to me is because every sound that comes out of us is unique. Like Forest Gump said, "You never know what you’re going to get.” Sometimes farts can sound like many different things we hear in our everyday lives. And believe it or not, some people are really good at farting. This is why I decided to write this book. The character of Little Michael really enjoys life and his only talent is his incredible sounding farts. He embraces this talent by sharing it with the world. My mom always said, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” We should all be like Little Michael. I hope you enjoy this playful little book and hopefully it will make you smile too. Also … all the farts in this book are mine. And they are real.
