About this title

Review

"The stories told by parents of multiples in Multiples Illuminated: Life with Twins and Triplets, The Toddler to Tween Years, are both touching and relatable. Raising twins is a new world to those who have never experienced it. As a parent of multiples myself, I cried, nodded endlessly, and chuckled at times while reading the stories told by other parents. This is a must read for parents of multiples."

This roller coaster of emotions shows the ups and downs of raising multiples and is crammed with advice to lend a supportive hand when things don't go to plan. A must-have for all parents of twins and triplets."

"The experience of raising multiples doesn't stop being unique just because the kids are out of diapers. Each year, each age, presents a distinct set of joys and challenges. Multiples Illuminated is the must-read collection that grows with you, as your twins or triplets grow [or: get older]. From the humorous to the psychological, these essays will provide succor and sustenance for any parent of young multiples who wants to know: what comes next?"
