Named one of the 20 Greatest New Father's Day Gifts by ADVOCATE.COM! "No matter what the country or the language, parents all over the world--loving, frustrated, exhausted parents--know what Adam Mansbach means. Since 2011, his comically obscene picture book has sold more than 1.5 million copies in dozens of languages from Afrikaans to Japanese to Nynorsk. And later this year, his little book will venture into new territory with a Jamaican patois translation: 'Go de Rs to Sleep.'" --_THE WASHINGTON POST_/Style Blog "This version of Adam Mansbach's profane, affectionate, and radically honest book will remind whole new audiences about the absurdities of parenting. Just don't read it to the kids." --ADVOCATE.COM, The 20 Greatest New Father's Day Gifts Praise for _Go the Fuck to Sleep_: "A new Bible for weary parents." --_NEW YORK TIMES_ "Incredibly appealing." --_NPR_ "A parenting zeitgeist...A phenomenon that has stunned the publishing world and may just redefine the modern parenting’ market." --_WASHINGTON POST_ "Delightfully obscene." --_NEWSWEEK_ "Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this deranged book." --_NEW YORKER_ The best-selling _Go the F*** to Sleep_ has been translated into over thirty languages worldwide. Now it is finally translated for Jamaican and other Caribbean parents of the world. Given how many West Indians live in the US and Canada, the market for this book should be broad, but focused mainly on areas with a large Caribbean community. _Go de Rass to Sleep_ is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Awardwinning author Adam Mansbach's verses perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity. With illustrations by Ricardo Cortés, _Go de Rass to Sleep_ is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.
