Perfect for you if...

  • You're a parent who finds humour in the chaos of bedtime routines and appreciates honest, irreverent takes on parenting.
  • You want a book that makes you laugh at 9pm instead of cry into your wine.
  • You enjoy clever wordplay wrapped around relatable scenarios that actually happened in your house.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer gentle, whimsical children's books without adult language.
  • You're looking for a book that will actually help your child fall asleep (this one explicitly won't).
  • You find constant swearing tedious rather than cathartic.

About this book

Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book for parents dealing with the real-world challenge of getting children to sleep. Rather than relying on gentle imagery and soothing rhymes, it takes a profane and honest approach to the frustrations of bedtime routines. The book captures the familiar struggles parents face when putting their children down for the night, presented with affection and candor. It has been read aloud by various celebrities, including Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Garner. While the book is unlikely to actually help children fall asleep, it is designed to entertain parents with humor about the bedtime experience.
