Both heartbreaking and hopeful. I hurt most for Sophia but could empathize with Daniel and his "deer in the headlights" response to all things parenting. I loved Caroline. As Daniel evolves throughout the story so does she and their relationship culminates in a really satisfying way.  This one will hit close to home for parents.

This is definitely one of my favorite free audible original listens. Both narrators were amazing and had my crying, laughing and going aaah! many times.

If you have an hour and a half, use it to listen to tiny father.

The Story: A slice-of-life comedy about parenthood in extremis, tiny father began as an Audible commission and is loosely based on playwright Mike Lew's own experience with a NICU baby.
