Every year on June 1, China celebrates its beautiful children. Children's Day in China brings smiles to the faces of millions of kids who survived the one-child policy and its consequences. It's a celebration of life, especially meaningful because so many children in China were never allowed to live. Children eat sweets and participate in fun activities, while the others (China reports 400 million others) are forgotten. In 1995, Hillary Rodham Clinton famously proclaimed that "Women's Rights are Human Rights." In the same way, I believe that children's rights are human rights, too. But for many children in China, wrongs have stripped away life, security, education, families and comfort. These statistics are alarming, but true:

The title of Ann Hood's new novel derives from a Chinese belief that a red thread ties children to all the people who will play a part in their lives. Over a lifetime, the thread shortens to link those whose destiny is to be together, but it also can stretch over long distances, as it does when Americans adopt babies from China. In Ms. Hood's novel, the adopted children are all girls, all abandoned by their Chinese families. Because Chinese sons have the duty of taking care of aged parents, having a baby girl rather than a boy has always been treated as a misfortune. Today, population- control policies mean that parents who have a daughter may have no chance of a son. Some parents, therefore, abandon girls so they can try for a boy.
