Synopsis:

A heartfelt children’s book about big feelings, family changes, and finding comfort through it all.

When her family begins to change, a young monkey finds herself caught between two homes and emotions she doesn’t yet understand. Feeling like a true “monkey in the middle,” she worries the conflict is her fault and tries her best to make everything right. But as she shares her feelings, the grown-ups in her life begin to understand the impact of their actions, gently reminding her of an important truth: some things are not hers to fix.

Told in gentle, soothing rhyme, Monkey in the Middle offers reassurance to children navigating divorce or separation. With warmth and empathy, this comforting story reminds young readers that their feelings matter, they are deeply loved, and that it’s the responsibility of the adults to create a safe and peaceful space for them.

Perfect for ages 4–7, it’s a supportive and healing read for families, classrooms, and anyone helping a child through big life transitions.
