Book: A Mother for Choco



I got this book last night from the one and only Janet "Mom" Jones


We hope to help our child understand in life that families are people who live together and love each other, not just those who look like each other.


I cried reading this book, because it is so beautiful.


Pretty much the book goes like this:
He's looking for a mother who looks just like him, but cannot find one. Mrs. Giraffe doesn't have wings, Mrs. Penguin doesn't have plump cheeks, Mrs. Walrus doesn't have striped feet. He sees Mrs. Bear picking apples and he just KNOWS she can't be his mother because she looks nothing like him. He starts to cry and lo and behold, Mrs. Bear comes to "mother" him. She kisses him just like a mother would, she hugs him just like a mother would, she cheers him up by singing and dancing with him, just like a mother would. Eventually, she invites him home for some apple pie. Turns out, she has three other children, a baby hippo "hippy" and a baby alligator "allie", a baby pig named "piggy". Choco decides to stay for apple pie, finally happy that his new mother looks just the way she is.
