How to Appear Normal at Social Events: And Other Essential Wisdom

Quirky, humorous illustrated wisdom from the hilarious author of Your Life is a Life of Hope!—"His extraordinary, one-of-a-kind writing style will greet you with offbeat humor and see you out the door with profound hope, optimism, and gratitude" (Mari Andrew, author of Am I There Yet?). "Lord Birthday is in a category all his own. It must be lonely out in geniusland, but I'm glad he's there. Exceptionally, uproariously funny." —Tom Toro, cartoonist for The New Yorker and author of Tiny Hands

Behold the wisdom of Lord Birthday: a tiny mustachioed king who is as insightful as he is ridiculous. His bite-sized illustrations capture the inherent comedy of being human, and his guidance appeals to anyone who is striving against the odds, believing in both the absurdity and necessity of hope. How to Appear Normal at Social Events is an oddly cheering book of illustrated lists. Largely based on Lord Birthday's popular Instagram account, the book offers excessively absurd, occasionally wise advice on topics ranging from finding your life's purpose to defending yourself against forest clowns. (Hint: Set an oatmeal trap.)

"Whether he's delighting in a hippie getting attacked by a hawk, mocking his own awkwardness, or reminding you of your mortality in skywriting, Lord Birthday aims to make you smile. . . . And maybe, even, remember why life is not such a bad thing to live." —Lulu Miller, NPR's Invisibilia "If I could take only one thing to a desert island, I would never take this book. It's far too funny and special to risk it getting damaged. I loved it." —Hamish Blake, comedian
