In their educational picture book Twin Power, Benjamin Young and Kiyanda Young share joys unique to those with a twin sibling. Sister and brother Simone and Sebastian may not look alike or be the same gender, yet they were born on the same day. This is because they are fraternal twins. Regardless of whether twins are identical or fraternal, they share a special bond, a connection that Simone and Sebastian call “twin power.” Whether it’s playtime, dinnertime, or bedtime, these siblings consistently show how their special relationship brings benefits and happiness to each day’s activities. While most of the book demonstrates various times when Simone and Sebastian’s twin power provides them with practical advantages, it ends with memory questions that help with reading comprehension and a handful of fun coloring book images.
Before the book’s first illustration, authors Benjamin and Kiyanda Young prove their authority on the subject of twin power, and it isn’t their doctorate degrees; the Youngs are parents of their own set of twins. Keeping this children’s book informational and approachable, the opening pages explain what twins are as well as the difference between identical and fraternal twins. Lively pictures depict each scene with enough color and energy to keep even very young pre-readers engaged. Though the story focuses on twins, I appreciated how the lessons on sharing, collaboration, and being kind are applicable to everyone. Perfect for children with friends or schoolmates who are twins, Twin Power is a charming and enlightening book about cooperation and kindness that will make you wish you had a twin.
