About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their own identity or experiencing the push and pull of a close sibling relationship. While specifically about identical twins, this story speaks to any child learning to balance being part of a group with being an individual. It provides a gentle framework for discussing how we are seen by others and how we see ourselves. Arlene and Ilene Kelly love their shared world, but when a hospital visit forces them apart, they must navigate the world as individuals for the first time. It is an ideal choice for second or third graders who are beginning to develop more complex social awareness. This story normalizes the anxiety of separation while celebrating the comfort of a deep bond, making it a reassuring read for children facing new, independent milestones.
