Twin Adventures

By TK Sohal

A set of Canadian-born twins are in for a surprise when a new set of twins immigrate from India. There is a clash of cultures that arises in the school setting. The twins discover things about themselves in unexpected ways, especially that kindness, understanding, and collaboration can go a long way.

REVIEWS

"Inspiration for writing this story is the lack of South Asain respresentation in children's books."
Spotlight on the Arts Magazine, Febuary 2022 Issue.
"[Twin Adventures] is the kind of children's book they wish to have read growing up."
Surrey-Now Leader Newspaper
"Often you see a lot of stories that are mostly either fully about immigrant children or fully about non-South Asian children. So this was one of the stories that is about Indo-Canadian children, South Asians who grew up like us and they could actually relate to us."
T.K. Sohal about Twin Adventures Author
"This is a beautifully produced colourful book for children by new young writers T.K. Sohal and Raman Kaur of Canada."
Indian Book World
"Highly recommended for the School and Public Libraries."
Indian Book World
"Everyone has something to offer; there is no reason to be jumping to conclusions. We also talk about a culture of food in the book and being able to accept that."
Ms. Raman Kaur about Twin Adventures in Darpan Magazine.
"The book is dedicated to " all those who have faced adversity due to their cultural background and/or ethnicity."
