As a middle child, I can relate to the story in this book. I think every middle child needs to read this to realize that being middle is not so bad. I also love every illustration here. Super cute!
Thank you, NetGalley and Yorkshire Publishing for providing me this lovely book.

This is an adorable children's book. this short story shows how the middle child may feel without it being dismissed . It also shows and provide examples of why the middle is great like the middle of the Oreo.

A fairly well-rhymed message to all those brought up as middle children – no, you don't get first dibs of the poshest clothes when hand-me-downs are needed, and you don't always have the run of the bathroom like you'd want, but you're not the baby – and hey, Oreo cookies are only better for their centres, so be happy to be one yourself. That's it in a nutshell, but it's more colourful and engaging than that, with both child and mother putting their case across before the happy ending. I was the runt of just two, but I can see this being an issue, and this being a friendly way to return harmony to things.

Thank you so much to Yorkshire Publishing and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.
A little girl doesn’t like that she’s the middle child, she has an older sister and a younger sister and she’s just in the middle.
A very adorable and accurate account of what it’s like being a middle child, being stuck with an older sibling that you’re in the shadow of and a young sibling that is too cute and little. It’s a hard place to be stuck and this book does such a wonderful job of describing it.
I really enjoyed that though it pointed out the bad and annoying parts of being in the middle it also highlighted the good reasons about it too, which is so wonderful to see as being in the middle has both positives and negative and I loved that it was showed that way.
A really lovely book, told in a really fun and easy way, with beautiful illustrations through the story. I think this is a wonderful read for children with siblings as it really helps give a description of life with siblings can be like and I’m sure many readers will relate too.

This is such an adorable book about a middle sister. I have three girls at my house, and this book really resonated with my middle. The illustrations were beautifully done. I especially loved the middle being described as a bridge and the cream to an oreo. My daughter said the book is very relatable - like the hand=me-downs and the teacher's perceptions. Sometimes being the middle isn't the best but sometimes it's amazing - this book makes everyone feel seen.

This is such a cute story! My mom is the middle child and always joked that middle children are going extinct. But middle children are so special!
Thanks so much for the arc!

sweet and encouraging!! the illustrations are beautiful too!! 💕
i’m a middle child who once experienced the middle child syndrome, but then realised that being middle was not so bad. there are so many benefits to being a middle child. and now i enjoy being one.
