Baby Girl

By: Olivia Julius

Narrated by: Sam Keen

What if becoming a father meant becoming the baby?

Mark thinks he’s ready for fatherhood—at least, as ready as any man can be. But when his pregnant wife Tessa signs them up for a high-tech parenting class called BabyPrep+, he quickly realizes this isn’t your average diaper tutorial. And when a cutting-edge empathy exercise turns him into an actual infant girl named Maddie—complete with frilly dresses, diapers, and helplessness—Mark is forced to experience parenthood from the inside out.

Tessa didn’t expect to feel so connected. So maternal. So torn between caring for her future child and the tiny, dependent version of the man she married. As Maddie begins to trust, and Tessa learns what it truly means to nurture, both of them are pushed to emotional limits neither saw coming.

Funny, raw, and emotionally powerful, Baby Girl is a transformative story about gender, identity, partnership—and the surprising ways we find love when we’re most vulnerable.
