This story is told by the main characters — a set of twins, both learning new things about who they are and how that impacts their relationship with each other as well as the world. The twist is that they're telling their stories from different years. Noah is an artist and describes the world in imagined paintings and drawings. Jude is discovering how much she's grown in three years. They're both discovering what it means to be yourself.
