Great book to read near Mother's Day and if you have twins in your class.
This book is one of the reasons I chose the name Max for my second child. I had a first child who was so easy and calm that I knew my second had to be the opposite. A few years ago a friend of mine found this book and changed all the Julians to Carters so when we read this book it is Carter and Max. Perfect!!
Such a sweet story! As a mom, I can relate to the mother in the story and see my kids in the boys in the story.
4/5
Working in a school has me reading all kinds of children's books. I really did enjoy this one. I had to use it for a lesson in metaphors.

The mom in this story knocks it out of the park. Her sons ask which is better at everything, and which one does she love most, and she shifts the lens and answers wisely about their unique skills and her unique love and appreciation for them. Bonus points for a title that only reveals its cleverness when you've finished the book and considered color theory.
Beautifully written story of the love a mother holds for her two children. The framable illustrations are rendered in watercolor.
