But while Rock is spending his money, Brock is saving his. And each week when Rock gets just one dollar, Brock’s savings get matched

(Ages 4-8) There is an ancient Chinese belief that an invisible, unbreakable red thread connects all those who are destined to be together. A king and queen rule a beautiful and peaceful land. They should be full of joy and contentment, but they both feel a strange pain that worsens every day. Then a peddler’s magic spectacles reveal a red thread pulling at each of their hearts. The king and queen know they must follow the thread-wherever it may lead. Grace Lin’s lovely adoption fairy tale is for all children-and the parents who would search the world to find them.

In the tradition of her classic "All Kinds of Families", Simon uses both neighborhood and the international stage to celebrate children and their similarities. Each carefully chosen example and comparison helps forge a connection to friends and neighbors, other cultures, and far-away lands. As children listen to this book being read aloud or read it themselves, the world grows a little smaller while understanding and acceptance grows larger. Full Color.
