Twins

Publisher Marketing: "My twin Sam, he lives next door. He's brave, and strong, and so much more. He runs fast, and I chase quick, and at games for two, he is my first pick." Demonstrate the importance of diversity with Matthew Alexander's uplifting new children's book, Twins. With vivid illustrations and an easy-to-read rhyming scheme, kids will rejoice at this story of two boys who can't seem to see any differences between them at all. Through the use of whimsical verse and everyday adventures, Sam and his friend dismiss the small and insignificant differences that exist between them by concentrating on all the things they do share in common. These two buddies demonstrate to everyone that true friendship is deeper, stronger, and more durable than the color of their skin. From wide smiles and a love of dirt-covered trucks to an affinity for climbing trees and a fondness for cookies with every snack, these two boys aren't just best friends-they're twins! Twins proves itself to be the rare children's book that finds a perfect home within today's ever diversifying society. Its themes of friendship, love, and equality are truly timeless, making this the kind of book that will speak to kids for generations to come.
