Children’s Book Turns the Taboos of Religion & Science into Educational Laughs


Greensboro, NC, December 28, 2018/ Press Release


On January 1st, Stinky Stardust Feet launches on crowd-funding site Kickstarter. With a range from $5-$10,000, backers can reap rewards from the indie publisher on any budget. Stinky Stardust Feet encourages questions, critical thinking, being silly and unity towards all things earth.

The main character, Judas, has to open his mind to figure out and understand the significance of personal hygiene. From the very first page, the reader is introduced to a notorious name. In this book, however, he is seen as a curious and misunderstood boy. Judas goes on to discover why exactly his feet smell like rotten onions, and how he can use his method to solve future problems. 

Author Chelsea Pyne explained, “I wanted to give kids and parents an opportunity to discuss science, religion, traditions, and any questions about the universe around them. And to do so in a lighthearted manor. It’s okay to ask silly questions about serious topics."




"The book touches on The Big Bang, evolution, natural selection, the scientific method, cultures and traditions, and the importance of clean feet. 

The takeaway is for kids to not believe everything they hear. This is especially important today, when so many stories are passed on as exaggerated truths. This is also the beauty behind science. It’s unbiased. We shouldn’t take so and so’s word for it because they are popular or powerful. Look for evidence, test your hypothesis, and then come to your conclusion. We want to encourage kids to think outside the box and to question authority. 

In a time when people are constantly divided, it's important to remind the next generation how alike we truly are. We all share an important history, embrace it! (For future sake.)”

The book is nearing completion this month. The water color illustrations can be found on the Kickstarter page, and are even included in a reward. The author has added print and ebook versions, poems, art, science education for kids, and sailing and adventure rewards to fund the book.

Books will be printed with funding goal of $5,000. The printed and ebook version are available for $25.

Buy The Damn Boat

After 8 years of remodeling, Nai'a is for S A L E !

Our CSY 44 has almost all systems replaced.

New engine, folding prop, new chainplates, new thru hulls, new mainsail, self steering equipment. The owner was getting the boat ready for extensive cruising. There are some cosmetic jobs still to be done.

Nai’a is a solid, hand-laid fiberglass hull and deck with no core, which means she won’t absorb water or rot. She is cutter rigged for easy sail handling and provides a variety of sail combinations. All systems are overbuilt, easy to access, and have withstood the test of time. She is heavy because in the 70s, everything was built to last and remain comfortable. CSYs are surprisingly agile and their strength and weight provide a smooth ride with the ability to keep sailing.

$65,000
