Born 14 weeks premature and weighing less than a loaf of bread, micro-preemie Toby spent 142 days in hospital overcoming unimaginable challenges. Dear Toby is a personal account of life inside a neonatal intensive care unit. It is told through a father's diary to his son; blending firsthand experience with real clinical insight.

Heartbreaking yet filled with hope, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Dear Toby is a testament to resilience, a celebration of love and overall, a tribute to the extraordinary journey of parents and preemies alike.

Reviews for Dear Toby: The Diary of a Preemie Parent

John Marrs, author and former journalist (https: //www.amazon.co.uk/John-Marrs/e/B00F1CRG9U/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1): I wish I had a book like this to read from a father's perspective when our son was born two-months prematurely. It's a gripping, warts and all, brutally honest depiction of those stressful yet joyful first few weeks as a parent to a child in neonatal. A must-read for any parent or relative of a premie, it will have you crying and laughing and often in the same sentence. Fauzia Paize, Consultant Neonatologist: ""What a great read! The author takes you through moment by moment of a parent who has a sick premature baby on Intensive Care. Thought provoking and sensitively written, you feel like you are there with them. A must-read for any parent going through Intensive care and all health care professionals working in Neonatal care."" Kate Sweeney, Parent to a premature baby born at 31 weeks: ""A heartbreakingly honest portrayal of life in the neonatal unit. So many parts of this book resonated with my husband and I who were thrust into the world of neonatal care when our son was born at 31 weeks...including those moments of dark humour! I both laughed and cried in equal measure. A must read for any parent or anyone for that matter who wants to read a story about tremendous courage and bravery. ""Refreshingly written from the point of view of the father in the neonatal unit, this book does a great job of breaking the stigma around openly discussing male mental health after the birth of a child.""
