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. 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.
There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that when a child is born an invisible red threads connect that child's soul to all those people- present and in the future - who will play a part in that child's life. As each birthday passes, those threads shorten and tighten, bringing closer those people who are fated to be together. This story is not the tale of the legend, but a fairy tale inspired by the legend.

Un rey y una reina gobiernan unas bellas y tranquilas tierras. Deberían estar felices y contentos, pero ambos sientes un extraño dolor que empeora día a día. Un vendedor ambulante que realiza espectáculos de magia desvela que un hilo rojo tira de sus corazones. El rey y la reina saben que deben seguir ese hilo, les lleve donde les lleve.
El cuento de hadas de Grace Lin es para todos los niños y los padres que les buscarán alrededor del mundo. Se trata de una antigua creencia que dice que cuando un niño nace, un invisible hilo rojo lo une el alma del niño con las personas del presente y del futuro que formarán parte de su vida. Cada cumpleaños, los hilos se acortan y se tensan, acercándole a las personas que están destinadas a encontrarse. No es la historia sobre la leyenda, pero está inspirada en ella.
