by Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortes (Illustrator). Go the Fuck 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.
