Go the F*** to Sleep, the picture book for adults, became a cultural sensation by striking a universal chord for parents. Now, Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortés reunite with Seriously, Just Go to Sleep, inviting the children themselves in on the joke. With Cortés’s updated illustrations (including a cameo appearance by Samuel L. Jackson) and Mansbach’s new child-appropriate narrative, the book allows kids to recognize their bedtime-delay tactics, giggle at their own mischievousness, and empathize with their parents’ struggles. Most important, it provides a common ground for children and their parents to talk about one of the most stressful aspects of parenting.

The book came to be when Mansbach read a highly censored rendition of the original book to his three-year-old daughter, and she recognized herself as the culprit and was delighted. So, he figured he’d do a companion volume that let kids in on the joke. Hardcover, 32 pages.
