Tom Skelton: VIP (Visually Impaired Papa)

Dispatches from the front line of blind dadhood

After losing most of his sight, Tom thought he might never become a dad. But now he is. And he's a bit scared. From nappy changing, choking hazards, losing your toddler in the park, to not being able to read to him, see his changing face, or his first goal on the football pitch, this is a hilarious, heartfelt scamper through dadhood and disability.
