About This Book
Parents of twins may reach for this book when their children begin expressing a desire for separate identities, or when one twin feels left behind by the other's independence. 'We Are Twins' follows identical twin brothers Luke and Leo, who have always done everything together. When they start school, one twin wants to make new friends and try different activities, leading to feelings of confusion and sadness for his brother. The story gently explores the balance between a shared twin identity and individual selfhood. It’s an excellent, accessible choice for children aged 4-7, validating the complex emotions that arise when close siblings start to carve out their own paths while affirming their unbreakable bond.
