Me, in the Middle by Annette Demetriou and Angela Mayers

Written by Annette Demetriou and illustrated by Angela Mayers, 'Me, in the Middle' is a 32 page children's story book about family trees and self-identity.

While exploring family trees in a school lesson, little Georgie finds that she is uncertain over the origins of her family. She discovers that her parents came together from separate nations and her family tree branches out wide, with each individual having different features and cultures. This story helps to highlight the beauty of different cultures and how we each share the same earth. It offers children a great chance to explore their own family tree and discover their own roots. Owlet Press have even added a separate page to draw your own family tree in the back of the book.

Owlet Press was founded by Samuel Langley-Swain in 2018, working with authors and illustrators with a shared passion – picture books which reflect the true diversity in children’s lives. Focusing on the challenges children face today and packaging these big issues into inclusive and accessible stories for small readers to digest and discuss with friends, families and schools. This indie children’s book publisher aims to change the world one book at a time, along with the best authors and illustrators to tell these stories.

Owlet Press have always published books that are 'incidentally inclusive' from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life - diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don't always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories - a belief that we share at Babipur.
