Kids Love Twee'

5/10/2013 via email: Hi Susie!
I am friends with Ned and he just gave me the signed copy of Twee that you signed for my almost 5yr old and almost 3yr old daughters Sadie and Gianna. I wanted to write you so that you know it's one of their favorite books!! I've had it since Tuesday and we've read it every night before bed! It's one of their "special" books that they actually take care of vs. destroy!!Thanks so much for a great book! We can't wait for the next one!! :)

Twee is a beautifully illustrated and touching story about Twee's growth. Twee discovers that what seemed like a helpless situation and an annoying encounter with a boulder, becomes a journey of acceptance and the beginning of a powerful relationship. This is an important message for children to learn. It is about having faith to see themselves through the "storms" in their lives, and to not be afraid to reach out and ask or accept help from others along the way. It is also a sweet reminder that there is always hope to be found in even the most seemingly hopeless situations, if you have faith. Well done! I highly recommend this book!

  An inspiring, instructional story about a little
pine tree that learns a valuable life lesson: appreciate what you have today, because tomorrow everything may change. This great message for children and grown-ups is delivered through the journey of a tiny tree, sweetly named Twee. 

Born between rocks on the side of the mountain, the little pine had the privilege of a beautiful view of the valley, but Twee was not happy about the changing weather. The snobbish tree whined about the wind and rain, sun and snow, until one day a huge rock fell from the top of the mountain and covered its view of the beautiful valley…

This delightful story grabs the reader’s attention from the beginning and holds it to the end. The author smartly shows the reader how important it is to appreciate the simple things in life and how easily we could lose things we take for granted. The story reminds readers of the important matters of life – things can change quickly, but no matter how bad they are, we must remain positive. There is always a way out. We must just look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

 Written in sample language, this story is illustrated in a pleasant and comforting style that every child would enjoy. A great story which teaches children to overcome obstacles and difficulties. A wonderful addition to any children’s book collection! (Review by Mrs. D. on Amazon.)

I Am Twee' (Book #2)
​Children"s  Psychologists Love Twee'

Susie HAS DONE IT AGAIN!  In I Am Twee’ Susie mixes the story with the message that recognizing what is unique and special is important to a child’s development and healthy self-concept. An understanding of each individual’s growth and ownership of unique gifts in life, then recognizing and celebrating those is a powerful message, often  lost in today’s society, with the pressure to fit in. Susie has captured this essence in Twee’s continued journey. This is an important book for anyone who works with children and adolescents. Robert J. Narucki, M.A., VT Licensed Psychologist-Master. (2013)

I Am Twee’ is delightful. Much like our children, Twee’ grows through some of the same stages. Twee’ provided my granddaughters with a safe way to speak about their own actions and feelings of jealousy and wanting to be something they are not. Twee’ showed them everyone is special in different ways, and you need to just be yourself, and it takes time to blossom. Mary M. Fargen, grandmother and avid reader.

  Heartwarming children’s book by Susie Caron.

This book is written beautifully. I confess that the Between You and Me books are some of the nicest children’s books I have reviewed lately. Written in sweet language, this latest book in the series teaches children about self-worth and self-acceptance.

Twee is now a grown tree, but wants to be someone else. It would like to be an apple tree, so it can have beautiful flowers, much fruit, and happy visitors. Looking at its sticky sap, the pine tree is angry about its appearance. Twee has no visitors or friends, and no one climbs its trunk. The unhappy pine tree is taking out her anger on her only friend, the mountain rock. One day, when a little girl and her mother spot the pine tree between the rocks, everything changes …

Following the main character, Twee, children will learn that each living thing, including human beings, has a purpose in life and has been placed on this planet for a reason. Without preaching, the author underlines a very important lesson: the best policy in life is to stay true to yourself and be your own person. Great lesson to learn and share with others! (Review by Mrs.D. on Amazon)

 
​Twee' for Two (Book #3)

Parents Love Twee'

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Way to Talk about Things that Matter with our kids and grandkids October 21, 2014
By Joanne R Fiske
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.

This book is so cute! The illustrations are perfect and the story holds a nice message about friendship whilst also underlining other topics like loneliness and moving away. I read this book with my 3 year old and 6 year old sons and they both loved it, as did I. I highly recommend it.
