The idea of Farting Martin is to take the traditional children’s cautionary tale; where children are routinely punished, by circumstances, for not doing ‘the right thing’ and subvert that idea. Subvert it by flipping the concept of ‘the right thing’ to explore the possibility that a child’s ‘worst’ problem could be their biggest asset. ‘This Farting he said, will put wind in my sails!’ I hope this idea contributes to helping children sweep aside the negative elements of a world of fixed views on the realities of success and failure and replace it with a world of doors that can magically swing wide open - for the very strangest of reasons.
