Petunia the Perfectionist

Petunia doesn’t like making mistakes. She’s so busy being perfect, that there’s no time left for having fun! But then the dreadful day finally happens. The day that changes Petunia’s world forever. The day she makes a mistake! What will she do?

Stella’s Brave Voice

Stella’s frustrated that Paige constantly speaks on her behalf. Can she learn to use her brave voice to tell her twin sister how she feels?

Twin sisters, Stella and Paige are different in a lot of ways – especially when it comes to how much they like to talk. In fact, Paige often speaks FOR Stella.

Stella’s always been okay with being the quiet one . . . until now. Suddenly, Stella has something to say. But can she find a way to make her own voice heard over Paige’s? And will learning to use her own brave voice hurt Paige’s feelings—and their special relationship?

The Only Me

A book about twins that celebrates individuality and self-love.

Stella and Paige are 7-year-old fraternal twins who don’t look alike and have different personalities and interests. Yet, people constantly compare them or comment about how strange it is that they’re not similar. They may be twins, but they’re not the same person!

Stella wishes people would see her for who she is, and not as “Stella and Paige,” or “one of the twins.”

All of the comparing and contrasting leaves Stella confused about her identity and wondering who she is outside of her sibling relationship. Sadly, she also wonders if she doesn’t measure up to her sister, Paige, the more outgoing twin.

Can Stella find a way to accept and value herself for who she is, and realize that she and Paige can each be their own, special and unique people, and still be twins?
