With twins, a lot is the same--but a lot is not! These little twin girls have the same hair and the same nose, but their eyes are different colors and they have different hobbies, too. This rhyming Level 1 reader celebrates twins but also individuality.
While most people begin life as separate human beings & must learn intimacy, twins are born into intimacy & must learn how to find separateness. "In her book, WE ARE TWINS, BUT WHO AM I?, Betty Jean Case has taken some of the best parts from all the other books on twins & new information she gained during nine years of research & put together one of the best books ever written about twins. She questioned more than 800 twins on subjects as varied as love, marriage, education, & ESP. This book is not just more of the same information you have read somewhere else. Being a twin herself, Mrs. Case has been able to express the struggle for identity from a twin's perspective. It is easy to read & is of interest to everyone, including twins, both identical & fraternal, parents of twins of all ages, grandparents, teachers, & anyone else who encounters twins." NOTEBOOK, Published by National Association of Mothers of Twins Club. Spring 1992. "This book examines how twins feel about being twins, how being a twin affects their lives, the struggle twins have to find their individuality & the importance of this. The special bond between twins is explained with advice to friends & relatives on how to understand what is involved." TAMBA - Twins & Multiple Births Association, Newsletter, Multiple Births Foundation Summer, 1992 London, England.
Whether fraternal, identical, or just two peas in a pod, twins share an unmistakable connection that lasts a lifetime. Inspire the twins in your community to celebrate their special bonds, while embracing all the things that make them unique. Throughout the book, the "We, but" construct introduces a shared quality on the right-hand side of each spread. Then, when the reader turns the page, they're presented with a trait that showcases each character's individuality.
A New York Times Notable Book for 1998 Critical acclaim for Lawrence Wright's A Rhone-Poulenc Science Prize Finalist "This is a book about far more than twins: it is about what twins can tell us about ourselves."—The New York Times "With plenty of amazing stories about the similarities and differences of twins, Wright respectfully shows, too, how their special circumstance in life challenges our notions of individuality. A truly fascinating but sometimes spooky (Mengele's experiments with twins at Auschwitz figure among Wright's examples) study."—American Library Association "Like so much of Wright's work, this book is a pleasure to read. Because he writes so well, without pushing a particular point of view, he soon has you pondering questions you have tended to comfortably ignore."—Austin American-Statesman "Informative and entertaining . . . a provocative subject well considered by a talented journalist."—Kirkus Reviews

Fast forward and Twinning Store has grown into a worldwide community of twins that follow our blog, stay posted on our social media and rock our twin clothing and accessories. We still can't believe how much our community has grown and how far it reaches. To us, it seems like yesterday that the hashtag #twinfluencer had 5 posts and it is at 9k time of writing this and publications such as Vogue Magazine, the Atlantic, Telegraph, and Elle using the term.

Our relationship may have similarities to other twins, but we are only connoisseurs of our own twin bond. Just as other twins are experts of their relationship.
