Book Reviews of The Red Thread: An Adoption Fairy Tale
Book Review: Delightful and heartwarming
Summary: 5 Stars
My two Chinese born daughters love this book. They are 3 and 5 years old, and find the fairy tale nature of the story easy to understand and also that it relates in real life to their own personal stories. I have also sent this to a friend with an adopted Native American daughter, and the cross cultural theme also works for them. A wonderful book.Book Review: Charming and simple story of yearning for a child
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful simple tale of two people who are lucky and know they have a lot but feel an emptiness inside. The red thread, a lovely symbol of one's heart, love, and yearning, connect them to their baby. Their dream is realized and they live happily ever after. A great book to introduce the subject of adoption to 2-9 year olds.Book Review: Deep and stirring
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very engaging. It takes the reader on a long and arduous journey. I love the passion, courage, and fortitude expressed in this book. When reading aloud, though...I am more comfortable telling my kids about the "longing" the searching pair feel for a child rather than the "pain" they feel.Book Review: The Red Thread

My 4 year old granddaughter was adopted from China @ the age of one. This is a great story to share with her. It is a beautiful story and really demonstrates the desire and love the adopting parents feel for these wonderful children.Book Review: Red Thread
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a children's therapist and bought a number of books on foster care and adoption - this one was the biggest hit. I find that kids relate more to metaphorical stories rather than the didactic ones.
