Reach for this book when your middle child feels like a 'forgotten' sandwich filling, caught between the high expectations of an older sibling and the constant needs of a younger one. Through a rhythmic, blues-inspired narrative, this story validates the specific frustrations of being stuck in the middle, from hand-me-down clothes to being overlooked in the backseat of the car. While the tone begins with a humorous look at Lee's 'misery,' it ultimately transitions into a celebration of individuality. Lee discovers that being in the middle gives him a unique perspective and a voice all his own. It is a perfect choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating sibling dynamics and need to know that their feelings are normal, seen, and worthy of a song.
