Dive into the darkly humorous world of "All My Friends Are Dead," a book that masterfully dances on the delicate line between hilarity and melancholy. Through its cleverly crafted pages, authors Avery Monsen and Jory John invite readers into a series of comically tragic vignettes, where characters ranging from obsolete cassette tapes to lonely dinosaurs lament their peculiar predicaments. With each turn of the page, this book paints a laugh-out-loud yet poignant picture of existence, making it the perfect read for anyone who has ever felt slightly out of step with the world around them. Monsen and John's unique blend of simple, impactful illustrations and witty, concise text transforms what could be a somber reflection on friendship and mortality into a delightful exploration of the absurdity of life. "All My Friends Are Dead" is not just a book but an experience—a whimsical journey through the misadventures of beings who are the last of their kind, the out-of-date, and the perennially misunderstood. It's a rare gem that will draw you in with its humor and unexpectedly leave you contemplating the deeper aspects of your own existence.

Great children’s book for adults. - Brianne Kimmel
Sometimes I feel alone. Some days are long and hard. But when I look out into this world, I am struck by the impossible beauty of it all. Those billions of magnificent accidents that led us to where we are today, that led us to paper planes and nautilus shells and the tiny, crooked smiles of children. When I think about the small perfections of the world, I have faith that my time will come. I have faith that someday, a warm light will flood over me and I will find peace.
— Avery Monsen, All My Friends are Dead
