Bookroo's summary

Ling and Ting are identical twins who share everything from brown eyes to pink cheeks. Yet, as they navigate making dumplings, haircuts, and magic tricks, they uncover surprising differences. How can two people so alike be so different? Join their delightful journey to find out.

From the publisher

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.
