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.
