A Mother for Choco

Submitted by Ms. Tess!
A Mother for Choco by Keiko Kasza is the story of Choco, a little bird who has no mother. He wonders who his mother could be, and sets off to find her. The giraffe is yellow like Choco, but doesn’t have wings. The penguin has wings, but not big, round cheeks like Choco. Everywhere Choco turns, he can’t find another animal that looks exactly like him. He begins to cry for his mommy. Mrs. Bear finds Choco. Mrs. Bear is obviously not Choco’s mom, but she can hold him, and kiss him, and cheer him up like a mom can. Mrs. Bear offers to be a mother to Choco. At first Choco is hesitant, but when he sees Mrs. Bear’s other (adopted) children–a hippo, alligator, and pig–he knows he’s finally found a family he can fit in with, because family doesn’t mean looking like one another. It means love, and laughter, and maybe a little apple pie. Re-discover the meaning of family with A Mother for Choco today! See this book listed in our catalog
