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.

Featuring 70 whimsical watercolor illustrations, the book turns real opossum traits into bite-size wisdom you can dip into whenever you need a laugh, a reset, or a little reassurance. Its messages encourage readers to embrace life’s weird, wild, and wonderful moments. A charming gift for animal lovers, stressed-out friends, overthinkers, and anyone who prefers their encouragement with a side of possum humor.

Funny, thoughtful life advice from an opossum’s perspective about self-acceptance, boundaries, resilience, perspective, and getting through life your own way
70 whimsical watercolor illustrations make this an especially giftable and visually appealing little hardcover
Encouraging messages delivered with humor, weird animal behavior, and a gentle, down-to-earth tone – no preachiness

Open to any page, borrow a little wisdom from the opossum, and remember that sometimes doing less, worrying less, and being a little weird is enough.
