Reviews:
Twee’ for Two, the third book in Susie
Caron’s Between You and Me Series, is
just as delightful as the first two books. Twee’ has grown in this book. She is
the same adorable and loveable pine tree, but she is faced with handling
changing surroundings, feelings of loneliness, managing new relationships, and
dealing with loss. She does so with the help of her new friends, and young
readers are left feeling empowered about dealing with similar situations in
their own lives because, if Twee’ can do it, they can too! Twee’ for Two, is
sure to capture and hold the hearts and minds of children and parents alike. It
will spark meaningful and heartfelt conversations between parent and child.
Once your children have read a Twee’ book, it will become a part of your
nightly bedtime story routine. Twee’ will soon become a welcomed part of your
family, like she has ours.

Wonderful
book for kids of all ages. Great story about friendship.
Format: Paperback
A wonderful
read for any child. This is the third book in the Twee series and the whole
series is wonderful for my 2 year old. The illustrations are great and the
story is wonderful.
Format: PaperbackI love twee and so do my little clients. I have
this in a special place on my desk and the kids come in and ask for it every
time. I can't wait to show them Twee for Two. I know they will love this story
of friendship as much as i did.
Format: Kindle Edition
I have
known Susie Caron for a number of years and when I heard she was writing the
Twee books I was very excited because knowing her, I knew she would create
great entertainment with a very important lesson for kids of ALL ages. That’s
what all good writers do, layers of meanings so as to reach and impact for the
better as many people as possible with what they are passionate about; even us
60+ kids! I too fell in love with Twee. I adore his honest personality and
willingness to learn and and sure enough the lessons hit home all too well with
me too. This past week I had the opportunity to read Twee for Two to my 7 year
old grandson. I thought, he’ll be bored, after all it’s not the movie
Transformers or an exciting video game. But delightfully, he sat listening
intently, engaged in the story and making comments on the pictures. After we
finished, he said it reminded him of a first time classmate in school who he
liked a lot but who had moved away. He said, I miss her, but I have new friends
now...but it was good to have had her as a friend. It was a good reminder for
him that he still cared about her but that it was OK. Reading Twee for Two
together helped us grow closer just talking about his feelings…Thank you Susie!
Your books are keepers and remain on my coffee table for kids of all ages. Keep
them coming. They are fun and helped me as a grandma teach and talk about how
best to handle the ups and downs of emotions in life with my grandson.

Mini Interview:
Why did you write this
book? I
wanted to offer children and parents a book about what it means to be a friend,
and how sometimes that includes saying ‘goodbye’. Children and adults often
don’t have a chance to have a good – “Good-Bye” with some of their friends and
family members. This is so important and I illustrated that in Twee’ for Two.
Anything in particular
you'd like to share about this book or its creation? Yes! Twee’s first
talking friend is a cat who appears quite suddenly. His name is Link and he
belongs to my daughter, who adopted two kittens from a barn litter. Both
kittens grew into large Maine Coon Cats. The female is sweet and a beautiful
sable color. Link is dark with a lot of white markings, and he has such a
personality, that I couldn’t resist using him as the model for Twee’s friend.
What can we expect to
see from you in the future? I enjoy writing children’s books and I plan to write more.
Currently, I write parenting articles on my weekly blog- “Between You and Me”.
I have sketched out a gift book based on Twee’, a parenting book, and I hope to
release a book of my poetry as well, all in the next year.
