"I can do this! I have a master's degree."

Babies are delicate. So much can go wrong. What if they get sick? What if they get hurt? What if they grow up to hate you? What if they grow up to hate themselves? What if they cause the world to end?! Michael is a new father and all these thoughts plague his mind, and those are just the personal fears. What about the part when society turns its daggers a kid’s way?

In a kinetic, bracingly honest, madcap journey through new parenthood, Michael shows us all the totally rational things a Black dad has to fear on his way to the Worst Fathers in the World List, like safety pin murder, decapitation, spontaneous combustion, cyberpunk dystopia, and demonic possession. But just remember . . . there are real things to worry about, too.
