“Road trip to the beach with our favorite books! Gotta bring Stinky along!” - @amy.meyer.davis Thank you Amy for sending this along. We absolutely love it when Stinky becomes a child’s favorite book. #stinkygetsabath #childrensbook #childrensbooks #roadtrip #roadtripreading #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren #read #favoritechildrensbook
We love you, sweet River! Thank you to your mom @amybee33 for sending us this fun photo of you with our books and for supporting us by gifting all the littles in her life with Stinky Gets A Bath. Reading is important for a developing young mind and dogs are simply the best friends ever! #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #readtoyourchildren #readtoyourkids #frenchbulldog #dogs #read
What a thrill when grownups love Stinky Gets A Bath as much as children do! After all, aren’t we all kids somewhere deep inside? (Maybe not so deep for some of us) Thank you for sending this photo @smilingwolfssong ! #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #read #frenchbulldog #bookstagram #readmorebooks
Meet our new friend Duke. His mom @mbudeb was nice enough to let us hang out with this super sweet little guy and get this ridiculously cute photo of him with our book at @topangahomegrown . What a cutie! Do you think Duke likes bathtime? #stinkygetsabath #frenchbulldog #childrensbook #chiildrensbooks #readtoyourkids #frenchies #frenchiesofinstagram
“Thanks for the book. I really liked it with the cool pictures and words and it’s just a really cool book.” - Archer, 5 years old When this photo was sent to me from @chosaintdom who gifted this to her nephew Archer, I just about melted on the floor. Reaching children through storytelling is so rich and rewarding. Sparking joy and creativity is an absolute honor and I love how well Archer drew Stinky, Dillo and even the ducky in the bathtub. Nice job, Archer! I absolutely cannot wait for my next book to be published. Coming soon! #stinkygetsabath #childrensbook #childrensbooks #readtoyourchildren #readtoyourkids #childrenarethefuture #frenchbulldog #goodnews #read #thankyounote
Thank you @ohmanchego for selecting Stinky Gets a Bath to be in the Book Nook at the May Faire Under the Oaks event!

This illustration by @shadow.and.sun.art didn’t end up making it into the final version of Stinky Gets A Bath but it reveals Momo’s true character…we miss you so much, sweet Momo! #stinkygetsabath #childrensbookillustration #frenchbulldog #childrensbooks #readtoyourkids
Shout out to the awesome and delicious @topangalivingcafe for selling out of Stinky Gets A Bath over and over again. So grateful to you! Happy reading everyone. #stinkygetsabath #childrensbook #frenchbulldog #readtoyourkids #childrensbooks #readtoyourchildren
I wanted to share some very early development sketches for Stinky and Dillo. It was a really fun journey moving through all the phases of getting every character on paper with the talented @shadow.and.sun.art before scanning and coloring. It was also a great way to process our grief when our beloved Momo the Frenchie passed away. #art #sketches #grief #frenchbulldog #johnscouch #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #childrensbookillustration #bookdevelopment #makeart
Spotlight on two of our newest readers. Meet Charlotte and Saylor. They are sisters and this was their reaction when they received Stinky Gets A Bath as a gift from their aunt. Nothing is more delightful than seeing children spark joy from reading! Thank you for sending in this beautiful photo. Reading looks good on you, ladies! #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #kidsbooks #storytime #read #sisters #bedtimestory #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren #frenchbulldog #stories #books #happyreaders

When it comes to bathtime, Stinky gets very creative with her secret hiding places. Sometimes she hides under the bed where it’s nice and dark. She feels safe here. #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #frenchbulldog #childrensbookillustration #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren #read #secretplace #books
Look at this super sweet care package from a super sweet new Grandma to be! Thank you for sending this in, @rfouch0 #stinkygetsabath #childrensbook #newbabygift #readtoyourchildren #readtoyourgrandchildren #readtoyourkids #babygift #read #childrensbooks #giftfromgrandma #frenchbulldog
Meet beautiful Cleo! 💜 Her dad sent in this photo of her at bedtime last night getting ready to read Stinky Gets A Bath. This warms my heart and brings me joy to no end knowing my story is touching children’s lives and has been an inspiration for them to learn to read. #stinkygetsabath #readtoyourchildren #bedtimestory #read #childrenarethefuture #chilldrensbook #childrensbooks #frenchbulldog #readbooks #learningtoread
I love it when a parent sends me a photo of their child utterly immersed in Stinky Gets A Bath. And learning to read! This is a massive win. Look at those little fingers holding the book open. Adorable! #stinkygetsabath #childrensbook #childrensbooks #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren #childrensbookillustration #readingisfun #booksaremagic #childrenarethefuture #maketimetoread #reading #readingtime #read #frenchbulldog
Today I was interviewed for the children’s show, Book In A Nook with John S. Couch who did all the illustrations for Stinky Gets A Bath.

What is it with dogs and mud? The muddier the better, it seems. #stinkygetsabath #frenchbulldog #frenchie #childrensbook #childrensbooks #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren #childrensbookillustration #read #childrensstory
Thank you @topangalivingcafe for selling out Stinky Gets A Bath time and time again. What fun to see these books fly off the shelves and land in the hands of happy children (and grown up children). A dream come true for me. #stinkygetsabath #readtoyourkids #reading #childrensbooks

Thank you @lo_wheeler for coming with the family to my book signing event! Your presence and the kids enthusiasm during story time made it a perfect day. #stinkygetsabath
When it comes to bathtime, Stinky likes to hide behind the old restored bus in the garage. Dillo is never far away. #stinkygetsabath #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbook #frenchbulldog #hide #bathtimeisntfun
THIS is why I write children’s books…right here. Gathering together to share stories and commune. There’s no better feeling than making an imprint on a child’s life. And good stories are a great place to start. Read to your children. Take them to story time. Teach them the joy of reading. It is fantastic for their imaginations. I am grateful to everyone who showed up at my story time event yesterday. Thank you! My heart is full. #stinkygetsabath
This is my new friend Ellie. She is 3 years old. She came to my meet the author event/story time today at @theopenbook_topanga After I read my book to a group of children (and adults), Ellie asked me to sign her book and then asked for a photo with me. As she leaned into me, my heart completely melted and I fully understood why I wrote this children’s book…for Ellie. And everyone who showed up, who sees me and loves my book. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. It’s official: I’m bitten by the children’s book writing bug. My next children’s book is already in the works and will be published next year. 💜 #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #author #authorevent #storytime #readtoyourchildren

Repost from @manofscience • Lola and I are loving “Stinky Gets A Bath” written by @cherryblossomsoul with illustrations by @shadow.and.sun.art . I love it when your friends inspire you with the art they create and share to us all. @stinkygetsabath #stinkygetsabath
This is Gigi the Frenchie. Isn’t she lovely? She’s funny too. Her mom sent us this photo of Gigi with her copies of Stinky Gets A Bath. Do you think Gigi enjoys bathtime? #stinkygetsabath

Thank you so much @digitalnoir_studio for such a nice post about my book! #stinkygetsabath
This is Momo. She is the inspiration behind Stinky Gets A Bath. Momo was the funniest little French Bulldog. And she truly hated bathtime! Rest in peace, sweet Momo. We love and miss you. #stinkygetsabath #frenchbulldog #frenchbulldogs #frenchbulldogsofinstagram

Stinky and Dillo…bff’s. #stinkygetsabath
Stinky loves to skateboard anywhere she can as long as Dillo is by her side. #stinkygetsabath
Stinky chews up dad’s new kicks while Dillo prefers taking a nice nap. #stinkygetsabath
That Stinky just can’t seem to get along with any other dogs… #stinkygetsabath #childrensbooks #childrensbook #childrensbookillustration #frenchbulldog #greatdane #beach #readtoyourkids #readtoyourchildren
One step closer to getting my book published. The coloring is coming along. Stinky hides out in the garage to avoid her bath. Do you see her sidekick Dillo? And how about that super sweet bus? 😍 #stinkygetsabath
Stinky and Dillo hiding out in the garden with some local friends to avoid bathtime. Can you name all of the native animals? #stinkygetsabath
Stinky and Dillo are currently getting colorized in procreate. Their tale is coming soon!
