"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 R-s to Sleep.'"
--"The Washington Post"/Style Blog
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 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.
With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, "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.
