The Red Thread: An Adoption Fairytale by Grace Lin

Camara recommends The Red Thread:
As the aunt of four internationally adopted children, this beautifully illustrated book touched my heart. There is an ancient Chinese belief that we all bound together with an invisible red thread. Lin takes that belief and spins into a beautifully depicted fairytale about a king and queen who have everything, but are still sad. They realize a red thread is tugging at their hearts. Upon following the thread, they cross the seas to a foreign land where they find a baby girl who becomes their daughter. This gentle tale will touch everyone’s heart and will help open up conversations about international adoption.
