Max in the Middle by Laurel Alexandra is a warm, heartfelt picture book that gently explores what it means to be the in-between child.
Perfect for families with a middle child-or those about to welcome a new baby-this story follows Max as she tries to make sense of his place in the family. His big brother Jack seems so capable and grown-up, while his little brother Seth, gets all the help and attention. Caught somewhere in between, Max begins to wonder where he fits... and who he's supposed to be.
