Ling and Ting: Not Exactly the Same
by Grace Lin
Although at its root this is a cultural book, we love this book for its story lines. The interplay between Ling and Ting, and the collection of cute short stories make this an easy nighttime read that is fun, multi-cultural, and easy to pace.
Ling and Ting are twins. They have the same brown eyes. They have the same pink cheeks. They have the same happy smiles.
Ling and Ting are two adorable identical twins, and they stick together, whether they are making dumplings, getting their hair cut, or practicing magic tricks. But looks are deceiving--people can be very different, even if they look exactly the same.
