Bunny in the Middle

Being in the middle isn’t always easy--sometimes it’s hard to know what makes you special, or how to follow a path that’s just your own. Bunny in the Middle, from Anika A. 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.

But being in the middle isn’t always easy--sometimes it’s hard to know what makes you special, or how to follow a path that’s just your own. Bunny in the Middle, this classic picture book from Anika A. Denise highlights the remarkable empathy of middles and the joys of self-acceptance, glowingly illustrated by New York Times-bestselling artist Christopher Denise.
