Model and mother to twin boys, Porsche Thomas presents this Step 2 leveled reader about sibling differences and the importance of unconditional love. Perfect for children recognizing familiar words while sounding out new ones with help.

All twins look and act the same, right?

WRONG!

August and Berlin are twins but they couldn't be more different. From their personalities, to their heights, to the way they like to play, these twins are definitely not the same. So, they never get along, right? 

WRONG AGAIN!

For all their differences, they're a lot alike, too. Most importantly, they know that no matter how much they do or don't have in common, they make a perfect pair. 

Twin mom, model, and actress Porsche Thomas tells a story from the heart that's inspired by her own experience watching two twin boys grow up.

Step 2 readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are perfect for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
Jessica Gibson is an illustrator from Detroit who has loved drawing since she was a little girl. A love for animals, traveling, and reading has always inspired her and led to a career illustrating children’s books. Jessica illustrates picture books, spot pieces, packaging design, and surface patterns, all of which she hopes capture her sense of fun.
