  This laugh-out-loud, latest installment in Adam Mansbach’s profane, #1 New York Times best-selling series, probably CAN be read to—and by—your graduating child, though it might bring you all to tears 
    
  WHEN YOUR KID IS LITTLE, the paradoxes of parenting are simple: you can love your child to death, and also be willing to do anything to get them to go the fuck to sleep. But by the time your precious little baby bird is getting ready to spread its wings and leave the nest? That’s a whole different level of complexity. You’re happy and sad. Thrilled and devastated. You want to give them all the advice you can, but you know they’ve got to make their own mistakes. You want them to know they can always come home, but also you’re turning their bedroom into a gym. 
    
  With Adam Mansbach’s trademark honesty, humor, and profanity, Go the Fuck to College perfectly captures the complicated emotional reality of this poignant, fraught, exciting time. A perfect gift for any graduating senior—or their parents or grandparents—this book somehow encapsulates everything you’d ever want to tell your kid … along with a few things you’d never dream of saying out loud. 
    
  “Countless sleep-deprived parents around the world were grateful when, in 2011, Mansbach published a riproaringly profane parody of a children’s book to help kids fall asleep. A series of Go the Fuck to Sleep books followed. And why not? The novelist hit on a hilarious conceit—merging syrupy-sweet kid-lit prose with R-rated kickers—that kept on giving. As happens, children grow older. Yet don’t they still need some advice when heading off to college? Yes, those doorstopper guides on best colleges might help, but they’re not quite as funny as Mansbach’s latest book … Yet more laughs for overwhelmed parents—as they become empty nesters.”—Kirkus Reviews

  Discover the Taoist philosophy within Taylor Swift’s ever-evolving eras—messages and actions of resilience, self-discovery, and the pursuit of authenticity—and let them guide you back to your own natural beat."Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?"“Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?”Is it a quote from The Tao or a Taylor Swift lyric? At first glance, the Tao Te Ching and Taylor Swift might seem like an unlikely pairing—one is a poetic text of ancient Chinese philosophy, the other a modern pop icon. But look closer, and you’ll find an invisible string of wisdom, transformation, and words that hold the power to inspire generations. The Tao is the general life force that flows through everything in the Universe—or, in Taylor terms, “forever going with the flow.” The Tao cannot be described with words alone; it must be experienced and lived. From the fearless rise of a teenage songwriter to the soft power of reclaiming her music, Taylor’s journey embodies many core Taoist principles: strength through softness, presence over perfection, and becoming without forcing. The Tao of Taylor Swift explores 13 Taoist principles through the lens of Taylor’s lyrics, life, and legacy, inviting you, Dear Listener, to harness both the spirit of Tao and the essence of Taylor and leverage them to live a happy, free, and balanced life, mostly at the same time. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a seeker of timeless wisdom, The Tao of Taylor Swift invites you to connect with Tao informed by the life and playlist of one of the most influential artists of our time.

When her best friend Lina disappears, Henrietta follows the kidnapper onto the roof, into the school greenhouse, and to a whole new world - where pigs grow on trees, giant bees lurk beneath the ground, and the people have enormous goat-like horns. 
  She makes friends with a grumpy Tree Pig called Dagenham, and a human who claims to be the world’s greatest detective, despite having solved no cases. Together, they set off to rescue Henrietta’s friends from the heavily-guarded palace, where the terrifying masked king lives, and all the children of Underspace are forced to work - as the furniture. 
  A magical adventure that will make readers of all ages laugh, cry, and wish they were friends with a pig.

  A funny, fast-paced, and poignant take on Franco-African history, as told through the eyes of three African security guards in Paris. 
   
   
   
  All over the city, they are watching: Black men paid to stand guard, invisible among the wealthy flâneurs and yet the only ones who truly see. From Les Grands Moulins to a Sephora on the Champs-Élysées, Ferdinand, Ossiri, and Kassoum find their way as undocumented workers amidst political infighting and the ever-changing landscape of immigration policy. Fast-paced and funny, poignant and sharply satirical, Standing Heavy is a searing deconstruction of colonial legacies and capitalist consumption and an unforgettable account of everything that passes under the security guards' all-seeing eyes.
