Dear Arlo: Adventures in Dadding

'A funny and heart-warming daddy diary' – My Baba

'Absolutely brilliant' – (not so) Secret Dads Business

'Honest and incredibly relatable' – Not Half Dad Podcast

It begins immediately.

There’s no transition period, no trial run, no supervised training, no e-learning module and no simulation that you can f**k up as many times as you need to until you get it right.

As soon as the midwife hands you your newborn baby, you are responsible for keeping it alive.

Picking up moments after Dear Dory ends, Dear Arlo: Adventures in Dadding continues the story of one dad and his journal as he strives to survive the first year of parenthood, blundering his way through bottle-sterilising, night feeds and some cataclysmic nappy changes – all while a pandemic sweeps across the planet.
