An illustrated story book for the youngest womb twin survivors
|
|||
The
story of two little birds, Birdy and Beakie, who hatched out of the
same egg. Beakie is just that little bit weaker than Birdy, and when it
is time to learn to fly, Beakie needs some help from Birdy.
Beaky
never does manage to fly alone. Soon all that can be seen of Beaky is a
little white feather, lying among the flowers. That feather becomes
very important to Birdy. Then one day, Birdy has an idea. It is time
for Beaky to go home.......
A Stage One story
book for young womb twin survivors. For parents to read with their
children, but children with a reading age of about 7 could read this on
their own. The book includes some explanatory notes about how parents
can use this story to start a discussion about the lost twin,
particularly if is the first time that this has ever been discussed.
The illustrations were specially commissioned for this book. They are oil paintings by Rara Schlitt who is an artist living in Maryville, Tennessee, USA. |

When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
