Sometimes, the siblings of twins feel ignored or unimportant because multiples get so much attention! But a series of children's books by Paris Morris can show kids that having twin siblings is something to get excited about. There are three books in Morris' twins series:

I'm Having Twins!

Paris is three years old when she finds out that her mommy has two babies in her tummy! Naturally, Paris has a lot of questions. Will she have to share her room and her toys with the twins? And what should their names be? Paris has a great time at the baby shower and even hanging out with Mom when she's on bedrest. Paris even gets to feel the babies move inside Mommy's tummy!

My family's world was really rocked when I became the mother of twin boys, but I can only imagine the chaos that must ensue when the result is triplets! Now, thanks to the book, Tales from the Trips: How Three Babies Turned Our World Upside-Down, I have a pretty good idea about what it's like to have three little ones at once.
