Yikes! Brandon Has Twin Sisters Is Now Available on Amazon.com
Our readers continue to approach us about their unique needs as parents of twins, multiples, and siblings. When I considered my relationship with my grandchildren, I was inspired to share my grandson’s journey of accepting his twin sisters by creating a children’s book titled Yikes! Brandon Has Twin Sisters. Preschool children can relate to the many adventures Brandon encounters when navigating life with his twin sisters. Primary grade children can read the book and learn about living with twins and multiples. Children like looking at the photos of the twins, who look alike, but have different personalities.
