Double Time: How I Survived — and
Mostly Thrived — through the First Three Years of Mothering Twins. Jane Roper, $16.99
Jane Roper never expected she’d have
twins — or that they’d be such a spirited twosome. She didn’t expect that
finding the right balance of work and home would be so tricky. And she
certainly didn’t expect to grapple with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder during
her daughters’ toddler years. But she also didn’t anticipate how much joy,
laughter, and self-discovery motherhood would bring.
Full of warmth, honesty, occasional
advice, and a generous helping of humor, DOUBLE TIME is a smart and engaging
account of the first three years with multiples, and a refreshingly candid and
vulnerable look at clinical depression. |

One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I’ve Learned about Everyone’s Struggle to Be Singular. Abigail Pogrebin, $17.00
In One and the Same, journalist
Abigail Pogrebin presents a tapestry of twinship, weaving science
reporting and personal memoir with the revelatory stories of
other twins — such
as two sisters who stopped speaking for three years; football
stars Tiki and Ronde Barber, who admit their twinship comes before
their marriages; a pair of bawdy, self-proclaimed “twin
ambassadors” who have created a media empire around their
twinness; and brothers whose shared genetic anomaly wrought unspeakable
tragedy. In this stirring account, Pogrebin shows how living
identical is both a celebration of sameness and a struggle for
singularity that defines us all. |

The Twins' Blanket. Hyewon Yum, $18.95
These look-alike twins have always
shared everything — their room, their toys, a crib, and, since the day they were
born, a blanket. But as they grow into new beds, they need new blankets, too.
Now they face a new dilemma: they don't know how not to share.
Told from the perspective of two
five-year-olds, THE TWINS' BLANKET playfully illuminates squabbles and
affection between young siblings. Yum's minimalistic art astutely captures
these twins' emotions as they toss, turn, and tug their new and old
blankets — and embrace their growing independence. |
