Book Reviews of The Red Thread: An Adoption Fairy Tale
Book Review: Sure to tug on your heartstrings & be a much loved & requested book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our story begins with a Mom & Dad sitting on a red couch amid a box of dress up clothes and some of Grace Lin's beloved books in our home placed close by. Their little daughter brings her mother a beloved and much read book, to which her mother replies as we often do......" This story again? You've heard it a hundred times. Are you Sure? Okay, I'll read it to you again, " thus begins Grace Lin's newest book Red Thread: An Adoption Fairy Tale.
Everyone who has adopted a child from China now a days knows the ancient Chinese belief of an unbreakable & invisible red thread that connects two people who are destined to be married to each other and the adoption community who took this story and added to their child .
I like how Grace Lin took this and created a wonderful book in which to me she put much thought into creating it and the little details in the book that most of us felt during the journey to our children. I love that the parents are sitting on a red couch, how the page with the king & queen staring up into a tree where their red threads are tangled... I know I felt the frustration of all the red tape, paper work & things we have to do to follow our invisible heart strings to China. I love that this story ends with the family sitting on their red couch closely together and everyone is wearing a golden crown! How true, we are so blessed and enriched by our child!
Grace Lin has written another wonderful book that will tug on the heart strings of all adoptive parents and show their children how just like their parent's heart strings, it took them on a journey of a thousand(s) of miles to China to find the very sole that will tug on our hearts for ever. Our daughter enjoys hearing her story & our adoption journey to China. I Think that Grace Lin's has created another wonderful book that will be also much read and requested in our home as well.
Keep up the terrific work Grace!
