The Twins' Blanket Hyewon Yum

One of School Library Journal?s Best Picture Books of 2011

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.
