Go The F**k to Sleep' gets the sequel all parents have been waiting for "Did you know that we needed a sequel to Go The F**k to Sleep? Well, now we’re getting one and it’s targeted at another habit among kids that drive adults crazy. First they won’t get the f**k to sleep, now they won’t f***ing eat!
Adam Mansbach wrote the original book, which became a viral sensation last year when Samuel L. Jackson eloquently read it. Go The F**k to Sleep became such a monster hit that Fox 2000 even hired writers to expand it into a movie.
While that movie idea is not getting anywhere, Mansbach did not wait to write a sequel. Akashic Books has announced You Have To F***ing Eat, which will be released on Nov. 12. It is illustrated by Owen Boseman.
Like the first book, this one also targets a struggle parents deal with on a daily basis. This time, it’s getting a child to eat what’s good for them. “Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to F***ing Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving moms and dads new, old, grand- and expectant, a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem,” the publisher promises.
Manbach’s Go The F**k to Sleep was a best-seller, with over 1.5 million copies sold worldwide thanks to all the internet attention. As Time notes, it was even topped the New York Times Bestseller list.
Now, we just have to wait for the Samuel L. Jackson recording of the new book.
