I Am Not Second
A Heartfelt Story About Siblings, Belonging, and the Truth About Love

No one comes second in love.

Olivia loves her brother more than anything.

She loves his laugh.
She loves his courage.
She loves the way he sees the world — from his bronze power wheelchair.

But some days…she wonders if she comes second.

In a family shaped by doctor’s visits, big emotions, and quiet sacrifices, Olivia begins to wrestle with something many siblings feel but rarely say out loud.

What about me?

Through tender moments and honest feelings, I Am Not Second gently explores:

• The experience of being a sibling to a child with a disability
• Big feelings like jealousy, guilt, love, and pride
• The beauty and complexity of family life
• The reassurance every child needs — that they matter deeply

This powerful and compassionate story reminds children that love is not divided — it multiplies.

There is space for both of them.
There is love for both of them.
And no one is ever second.

Perfect for:

• Siblings of children with medical needs
• Families navigating disability
• Classrooms teaching empathy and inclusion
• Social-emotional learning discussions
• Parents looking for meaningful connection conversations

Beautifully illustrated in warm, Pixar-style artwork, this moving story opens the door for important conversations about belonging, identity, and unconditional love.

Because in a family — love is not a competition.
