The story follows a child stuck between an older sibling who does everything first and a younger sibling who gets all the attention \u2014 until she realizes that being in the middle comes with its own kind of magic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Inspired by her own daughter, Ellie, becoming a middle child, Orlinsky wrote the book to remind children that being in the middle doesn\u2019t mean being forgotten.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">\u201cThis book is a celebration of the wonderful quirks that make middle children who they are,\u201d says Orlinsky. \u201cThey may fall in the middle, but their place in the family \u2014 and the world \u2014 is anything but ordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being Middle has already caught the attention of middle child advocates. Bruce Hopman, founder of the International Middle Child Union, remarked, \u201cThere is no cure for Middle Child Syndrome. But this book, and Lori\u2019s approach to raising a Middle Child, might be the closest thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Being Middle follows Orlinsky\u2019s bestselling debut Being Small (isn\u2019t so bad after all), which won more than a dozen book awards for its empowering message of self-acceptance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Lori Orlinsky is a bestselling author and veteran journalist known for her rhyming, lesson-driven picture books that help children process big emotions and make sense of the world around them. Being Middle marks her fifth published title. While she isn\u2019t a middle child, she has her hands full raising one.
