The Twin’s Blanket by Hyewon Yum (Frances Foster Books, 2011) captures the pains of growing up for two look-alike twins that have always shared a bed and a blanket. Now that they are big, they need their own blankets, which leads to new difficulties and quarrels. The childish tone of the two girls’ narration gives the book a sense of reality that kids can relate to, and the pictures of reconciliation and sisterly love are touching. One can’t help loving the two girls, and kids hesitant to embrace the change of growing up may appreciate their story all the more. All sleep well in the end.
