Illustrated by
Sophie Blackall.
This tribute presents four sections focusing on twins before birth, as babies ("twinfants"), life as a twin, and famous twins. Lewis, a twin, and Yolen, who comes from a family with many twins, use a variety of poetic styles and viewpoints. The poems range from humorous to poignant, all enhanced by Blackall's expertly delicate illustrations. "Twin facts" run along the bottom margins.
