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."

"Moving, amusing and informative and best of all, honest. Multiples Illuminated is a refreshingly truthful account of what it's really like to be the parent 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?"
