Ever wondered what it's like to be the middle child? Lori Orlinski and her daughter Ellie are here to shed light on the unique experience in their heartwarming new picture book, "Being Middle."
In a candid and charming conversation, this dynamic duo reveals the inspiration behind their book. When Lori welcomed a surprise baby during the pandemic, she noticed her daughter Ellie's transition into the middle child role. Instead of seeing it as a challenge, Lori saw an opportunity to celebrate Ellie's special qualities.
The book isn't just another children's story—it's a powerful narrative about embracing your place in the family. Lori explains how she worked to help Ellie feel valued, even creating monthly volunteering activities that became their special bonding time. From making cookies for hospital patients to sewing blankets for NICU babies, they've turned potential middle child frustrations into meaningful experiences.
Nine-year-old Ellie brings her own infectious energy to the conversation, sharing how she feels about having her story told to the world. Her honesty about sometimes feeling overlooked is balanced by her pride in finding her own path—like becoming a competitive swimmer and discovering a love for archery.
What makes this book special is its universal message: every child is unique and valuable, regardless of birth order. Lori's approach of listening to her children and celebrating their individual strengths shines through, offering a refreshing perspective on parenting.
For parents struggling with sibling dynamics or children feeling lost in the family shuffle, "Being Middle" offers hope, humor, and heart. It's a reminder that what might seem like a challenge can actually be a superpower.
Interested in learning more? Check out Lori and Ellie's book, and get ready to see middle children in a whole new light!
