I discovered Adam Mansbach's "children's" book, Go the Fuck to
Sleep, one day when I was browsing for a gift for Emily. This was
before we had Everett. Even then I recognized the genius of this
tale. I am not sure if I ever laughed so loudly in a book store before or
since.
Now that I am a parent and have had those nights that will never end, I realize how amazing the book really is. I am sort of jealous that I didn't write it first. But I've only been a parent for 6 months, so it really wouldn't have felt authentic if I tried such an endeavour. The book is awesome, even if I didn't write it.
The book has now become even more awesome because it has been narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. There really isn't a better narrator possible for this book. This is now tied for first place for best picture book read by a celebrity. Easily.
If you've had some long sleepless nights, because your kid refuses to sleep, then you've got to listen to this. Plus it will give you your Jackson fix for the day.

I am a writer, so I write. When I am not writing, I will eat candy, drink beer, and destroy small villages.
