Five-year-old Nancy has a bad case of middle-childitis. She's not as tall/old/dark/thin as her older sister nor is she as short/young/light/round as her baby brother. Nancy's dilemma and its resolution are rhythmically recounted in a warm, full-color picture story which features an interracial family. (Ages 3-7)

Nancy is caught in the middle -- the middle of her family, that is. She is neither tall nor small, fat nor thin. Nor is she dark-skinned like her big sister or light-skinned like her baby brother. Where does she fit in? Follow Nancy on a journey of discovery to finding an identity and uniqueness all her own.
