Description
A gift-worthy ode to parents, children, and the bonds of love that bind them together, from one generation to the next.
"When you were born, I held you in my arms and tied a magical thread around your finger."
That thread stretches and snags along the way, through the touchstone moments of a child's life. Through first steps and first stumbles, first love and first broken heart. Through classrooms and graduations, a lifetime of heartache and joy, of wonder and accomplishment. Yet the thread never breaks. And it never will.
Written in spare, powerful, read-aloud verse and illustrated with warm, evocative watercolors, Our Unbreakable Thread is the book about all of our lives, from parent to child, generation to generation. It's a perfect gift for any new parent or grandparent, and for saying thank you on Father's Day.

Sweet picture book about the ties that bind us to our loved ones, durable but not always visible.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this adorable picture book
Marinda F, Reviewer
This beautifully illustrated book will make a sentimental gift for family members of every age. "The Unbreakable Thread" the story refers to represents the bonds of family throughout generations. My second-grade daughter and I enjoyed reading this together, although I think the story meant more to me than it did to her. The symbolism is beautifully crafted, although kids might wonder why the story is about a thread that doesn't show up in the pictures. For me there were a few inconsistencies, but overall this is a gorgeous book with a meaningful message.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an early copy to review. All opinions are my own and I was no required to leave a positive review.

This sweet story will help families know that no matter one’s location, age, or circumstances, families are connected. Bonds are unbreakable even if they are tangled or stretched thin.
Susan F, Reviewer
This is a story of family ties. Sometimes it’s messy, sad, joyful, supporting. It follows the birth of a son until he has his own son. Lovely story and worth the read. I was blessed with a free ARC, and I’m leaving my review voluntarily. Enchanting illustrations.
