About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the growing pains of being a middle child or is struggling to find their place in a busy, dual income household. As the Quimby family navigates new job stress and a tight schedule, seven year old Ramona feels caught in the awkward gap between being a little kid and a big girl. This classic story beautifully validates the feelings of a child who wonders if they are still special even when their parents are tired, distracted, or arguing. It is a gentle, realistic look at the ups and downs of family life that offers reassurance that even when things feel chaotic, the family bond remains strong. Through Ramona's relatable mishaps and observations, children learn that their feelings of jealousy or invisibility are normal and that their family's love is constant, even on the days when the slow cooker stays unplugged and tempers flare.
