'Being Middle': New book gives middle children their moment to shine | ChicagoNOW

Middle children, often stuck between the overachieving oldest and the youngest, don't always get the spotlight. But that's about to change. National Middle Child Day is on August 12, and a new children's book called Being Middle is shining a light on the lovable middle kid. Here to talk about it are author Lori Orlinsky and the real-life inspiration behind the story, her daughter Ellie.
