Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning 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.BRBRWith illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, IGo the F*** to Sleep/I is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.BRBRISeriously, Just Go to Sleep,/I a children's book inspired by IGo the F*** to Sleep/I and appropriate for kids of all ages, is forthcoming from Akashic Books in April 2012 and available NOW for pre-order.BR/DIV
