Who Is Your Favorite Monster, Mama?

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with their place in the family or expressing concerns about who you love most. It is particularly helpful for middle children who feel squeezed between a capable older sibling and a needy younger one. The story follows Harry Monster, who feels invisible and worries that his mother has a favorite. Through a gentle and humorous lens, the book explores themes of sibling rivalry, self-worth, and the unique bond between a parent and each individual child. It is perfectly pitched for preschoolers and early elementary students, providing a safe, metaphorical space (using monsters) to discuss big feelings of jealousy and the need for reassurance. Parents will appreciate the clever way the mother helps Harry discover his own special value without dismissing his siblings.
