CRITICAL ROLE: SMILEY DAY!

Sam Riegel Critical Role

A Good Advice Book From Your Favorite Robot Therapist

Wit and wisdom abound in this illustrated gift book from Fresh Cut Grass, Critical Role's favorite robot therapist!
Join Fresh Cut Grass, an extremely helpful and empathetic robot (and a fan favorite character from Campaign 3 of Critical Role), as they dispense hilariously unusual but well-meaning advice to the members of Bells Hells. As the adventuring party's licensed therapist*, FCG grows frazzled trying to help everyone with every single problem that crops upand soon realizes that they've forgotten one very important member of the crew: themself! With FCG as your guide, you'll learn important gems such as:

Truth is like engine oil. It might taste bitter, but you gotta drink it!**
Do unto others as if you know what the word "unto" means.
And more!
*Not actually licensed or a therapist.
**Do not drink engine oil.

Written by cast member Sam Riegel and featuring beautiful, full-color illustrations by Thorn L. Knight, this is the perfect gift for Critters of all ages who need a friendly reminder that taking care of themselves is important in order to have a Smiley Day!
