Description
Mr Stink is a story involving the lives of two people from two different realities. A little girl belonging to a high class family going to private school and being very much part of the public eye and a very smelly man living on the streets. It is a wonderful illustration of a child's, intrigue, innocence, love and kindness and a poor man's struggle to survive, to fit in, to be accepted, to be acknowledged, to be heard. A challenging tale of society's pressures and stereotypes and how one little girl embraced a life with love and kindness and without fear to stand tall above the rest and voice the opinion of even those on the streets. A moving book and motion picture which as well as being touching, twisted and really rather hilarious, carries a beautiful message of what is really important in life. Mr Stink is a sensitive story for all the family!
