In Lay Your A Down and Shut the F*** Up, Charlie Mac once again subverts the traditional picture book, pairing bright, gentle illustrations with brutally candid comedy about sleep deprivation, parental burnout, and nighttime chaos. The result is a razor-sharp satire of modern parenting—where exhaustion, love, frustration, and profanity collide.
Equal parts therapy, confession, and comedic release, this book captures the universal experience of trying to get children to sleep when logic, reason, and hope have already clocked out.
A perfect companion to Man, F* Them Kids, this sequel proves that bedtime is where sanity goes to die—and humor is the only thing that saves it.
