Denise and New York Times-bestselling illustrator of Knight Owl Christopher Denise, highlights the remarkable empathy of middles and the joys of self-acceptance.

When you’re in the middle . . . you’re not the oldest, and you’re not the youngest. You are right in between. There’s someone bigger who helps you and someone smaller who needs you. From the middle, you can see both sides.
