Accepting Submissions for Two Little Time Twins Book!
Filed under: Featured Twins Books, Twins Bookstore News
As a bookstore owner, it was bound to happen sooner or later – I would get the itch to publish a book. That time has come and I need your help!
Just because I’m a mom of twins doesn’t mean that I’m the expert on how to raise them, collectively we ALL are the experts, but we’re so short on time aren’t we?! That’s where the idea for my e-book came in. Two Little Time: Twins Advice for the Hurried Mom and Dad will be a collection of 5 bulleted “must know” tips and advice for raising twins from all of us.
This is a chance for you to get published, gain exposure as a “twins expert,” help other moms and dads by sharing your knowledge, and market your blog/website/business to the twins community. In addition, contributors can post Two Little Time on their website or blog to make available to their readers for FREE.
Interested in submitting an article?
It’s easy! Just come up with 5 bulleted tips/advice for raising twins/multiples; write a bio about yourself; read and sign the book agreement. Submissions accepted until June 30, 2012. All the juicy details are below in our Submissions Guideline and Book Agreement downloads (in PDF format).

Twins Dad Write a Book for Dads
Filed under: Author Spotlight, Featured Twins Books, General Twins and Multiples Info, Newly Published Twins Books, Twins Bookstore News
As a mother, I feel very fortunate that there are so many books written by twins moms about having and raising twins to choose from. These are mothers who have gone where I am headed that can lend their expertise and guidance in order to make my life a lot easier. But, dads don’t have such a luxury. There are very few books written by twins dads about twins. That is why I was so excited to hear about Joe Rawlinson’s new book Dad’s Guide to Twins!
If you are an expectant twin dad wondering what your twin pregnancy and future holds, help is on the way…
This book will help you be better prepared and ready to tackle life during the first few exciting and confusing months without having to wade through a lengthy book you don’t have time to read.
It is perfect for the expectant and new twin dad whether your twins are your first and second children or ninth and tenth.
By reading this book you’ll uncover money-saving tips, understand your preparation options, and eliminate common surprises that accompany every twin pregnancy and the early days of newborn twins.
Anytime one of my friends would announce that they were having twins, I would always put together a pile of books for her to read, but now with the addition of the Dad’s Guide to Twins, I’ll also be able to include a little something for daddy.

Should parents treat twins and multiples as individuals or as a pair? Find out the answer to this important question by reading Joan Friedman, Ph.D.’s author interiew just posted on Double Up Books’ store website.

It’s Dora The Explorer Month!
Filed under: Featured Twins Books, Twins Bookstore News
It started innocently enough, as most obsessions do. My mother-in-law bought my twin daughter, Audrey, a Dora the Explorer hat at the beginning of winter. Neither one of my twins had ever watched Dora’s show before, but my daughter took an instant liking to the hat.
During the ice storm in December when we lost our power (and heat) for 2 days, Audrey wore her hat non-stop. It gave her warmth and a sense of safety during this stressful time. Even when the power was restored, she refused to take it off except for sleeping and bathing. For three months, she wore her Dora hat inside and outside, it didn’t matter.
Finally, in March I thought maybe the twins would like to watch Dora’s show. Well, all it took was for them to watch one show to be completely hooked on Dora. And, to my wonderful surprise Dora has younger twin siblings!
So, in honor of the enjoyment that Dora gives my twins (and the comfort she provided during our power outage), this month is Dora the Explorer month at Double Up Books. You’ll find below just some of the books that we carry that feature Dora and her twins.
Oh, and before I forget, I thought you’d like to see a picture of Audrey’s dora hat!

What Are Your Favorite Twins Books?
Filed under: Featured Twins Books, Twin Pregnancy Books, Twins Bookstore News
If you enjoy chatting with other twin moms and dads about the latest books about twins, then I want to tell you about Double Up Books’ latest online book group, Twin Books Group at Twin-Pregnancy-and-Beyond’s community.
It’s going to be an exciting “book group” because it won’t be a typical book group where we pick a book of the month that we all read and discuss. Instead it is an open forum group where you can post messages and comments about your favorite books related to twin pregnancy, raising twins, and children’s books for twins.
As founder of Double Up Books, I always get asked the question “what are your favorite books about twins?” and while I love discussing which books are my favorites (which I will freely discuss on our group boards), this book group is really about what YOUR favorite and not so favorite books are. We’ll all learn from each other which books are the most helpful for being pregnant with and raising twins.
To join, just sign up for an online Twin-Pregnancy-and-Beyond’s community account. It’s free of charge and you’ll get to meet other moms (and dads too) of twins. Then, click over to groups to join and post which books are your favorites. It’s that easy. Check back in as often as you’d like to get more book recommendations or hear about the latest books.
Can’t wait to see you there!
