Little Miss Ladybug & Her Magical Red Thread (Karen Acres)
Parents of adopted children everywhere will relate instantly to the warmth, love and magical moments reflected in this beautifully written and illustrated work created by Canadian author, Karen Acres. This loving story chronicles the tale of Little Miss Ladybug, often considered a good luck omen, as she follows her magical red thread to unite waiting parents with their soon-to-be adopted child. "In a land far away, little babies sleep ever so soundly. But not Little Miss Ladybug. She is fluttering with great excitement, as she follows her Magical Red Thread through an open window to a world apart, where a mommy and daddy are busy preparing a room for one of her many sleeping angels". According to Acres, "There is an ancient Chinese belief that an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." The book's gentle and loving approach captures the imagination of a young child. Toddlers and pre-schoolers alike are captivated by the use of a wide range of vivid colors and illustrations of a happy sun and flower-cradles. Children love finding Little Miss Ladybug on each page as she follows her magical red thread throughout the book. "The book gives children a sense of love and pride about being adopted. It also gives us a sense of how wonderful it is for all who have been touched by the adoption wonder." Karen Acres immediately felt a strong connection to China while visiting Asia. Her love of children and a strong desire to be a mother took her back to Yongzhou, China to adopt 12-month-old Kaylee. She dedicates Little Miss Ladybug & Her Magical Red Thread to her beautiful daughter, as well as to all the adopted children the world-over and the parents who have waited so long for their dream to come true. A percentage of the profits from the sale of the book go to support orphanges in China...to help Little Miss Ladybug continue her mission of uniting eagerly awaiting parents with their soon-to-be adopted children!
