Why read it?
1 author picked One as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Crossan uses verse to capture the emotional intimacy of a relationship between two conjoined twins as they encounter challenges in everyday life, including grief.

From Meg's list on children’s stories in verse.
