Grace Kendall at FSG has acquired North American rights, at auction, to Girls Fart, a picture book by debut author Jayme Mattler, illustrated by debut artist Lisa Lefringhouse, celebrating girls, moms, and grandmas who embrace their bodily functions. From undiagnosed allergy gluten sufferers to gold medalists and rock stars, farts can be "silent but deadly" or "loud and proud." Publication is planned for fall 2026; Allison Hellegers at Stimola Literary Studio represented both author and illustrator.
