Ashland’s Jennifer S. Lyons releases new children’s book title ‘Stinky Bowfinky and His Dirty Dog Dew’

ASHLAND — Nationally celebrated children’s author Jennifer S. Lyons returns with the highly anticipated release of her fourth book, Stinky Bowfinky and His Dirty Dog Dew — a deeply moving, lyrical story about judgment, compassion, and the quiet courage of those who are misunderstood.

Available now on Amazon and jenniferlyonsbooks.com, Stinky Bowfinky and His Dirty Dog Dew introduces readers to Bowfinky, a mysterious newcomer to Didleyville. With his clunky red shoes, wild hair, dark sunglasses, and faithful pup Dew by his side, he becomes an object of ridicule, fear, and blame in the town — until the truth of his story is revealed in a powerful, heart-wrenching twist.

“Bowfinky is a mirror,” says Lyons. “He shows us how easy it is to judge what we don’t understand — and how essential it is to lead with kindness and curiosity instead.”

Told in rhythmic, poetic verse, Lyons’ latest work is as emotionally resonant as it is beautifully written — a masterful blend of storytelling and social commentary wrapped in the accessible voice children love.

A Moral That Echoes Beyond the Page

Stinky Bowfinky and His Dirty Dog Dew delivers a timely and timeless message: “You never know when you might be entertaining angels unaware.”

Lyons invites readers young and old to reflect, reach out, and open their hearts. This is more than a children’s book — it’s a call to empathy for every generation.
