When in Doubt, Play Dead: Life Advice from an Unexpected Source -- Ally Burguieres, Hardcover

Featuring 70 watercolor illustrations, this totally adorable gift of a book offers wisdom and insight from a delightfully unexpected source: the opossum.

Learn to live your life the opossum way with unique advice like:
  • The difference between a weed and a flower is often a matter of taste.
  • It's nobody's business what's in your pouch. Unless you've got snacks in there. In which case, you should share.
  • A bit of risk is part of life. Cross that street, but ALWAYS look both ways beforehand.
  • Smile! Unless someone tells you to, in which case you are well within your rights to scream.
  • And more.
Written and illustrated by Ally Burguieres, creator of the popular Instagram account @ItsMeSesame, who spends her days as a wildlife rehabber caring for and learning from opossums, When in Doubt, Play Dead offers encouragement to embrace life's weird, wild, and wonderful moments.
