Book Talk 6: The Twin's Blanket


     The Twin’s Blanket
                                Author and Illustrator: Hyewon Yum                       

As I was looking for a book to read for my book talk, I came across this book. It caught my attention because it has two little girls in the cover that look alike. It also has the word TWIN’s in the title. Being a twin myself I wanted to read it to see what it was about.
This book is about these little girls that are twins. Since the day they were born they have shared everything! They shared their toys, their room, their blanket and even their mom’s belly. But now that they are getting older they each need their own things. So the book takes us through their journey of how they each become a little more independent.
Reading this book brought back so many memories from when my sister and I use to be little. I think anybody who has siblings can relate to this book, not just if you’re a twin.
I would use this book for younger kids to talk about the relationships between siblings. I would have each kid write what kind of relationship they have with each of their siblings. Another good idea would be to read this book on National Siblings day and maybe have the students make little cards or presents that they can take to their brothers and sisters.
  Had to share a picture of my twin sister :)

  1. I love your personal connection to this book! It's so neat that you have a twin.
    The idea of using this book to talk about sibling relationships is a great idea. It would work for any siblings, twins or not.

  2. This is so cute! I think it would be perfect for national sibling day! I just worry about children with no siblings, maybe it could just be learning about siblings so the only children don't feel left out.
