About this product

Product Information

Family is about love no matter how different parents and children may be, adopted or not. Choco wishes he had a mother, but who could she be? He sets off to find her, asking all kinds of animals, but he doesn't meet anyone who looks just like him. He doesn't even think of asking Mrs. Bear if she's his mother-but then she starts to do just the things a mommy might do. And when she brings him home, he meets her other children-a piglet, a hippo, and an alligator-and learns that families can come in all shapes and sizes and still fit together. Keiko Kasza's twist on the Are you my mother? theme has become one of the most highly recommended stories about adoption for children.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

Great Introduction to inter-racial or domestic adoption
I've adopted two children and both are of a different race than myself. They are 3 1/2 and I felt it was time to start bringing up the topic of adoption and what it means. This book is very simple and sweet and they both connected to the story very quickly. Choco is a little bird all alone and decides to find his mother. Every animal he goes up to he searches for a similar character to one he has and asks that animal "Are you my mother" After being told no by several animals, Choco is very upset and doesn't even ask the bear in front of him that question whle he sits and cries. The bear comes up and wants to hear why Choco is crying. After learning his story, she asks him lovingly "If you had a Mama, what would she do for you right now?" Choco goes on to tell the Bear what he needs and ... I've adopted two children and both are of a different race than myself. They are 3 1/2 and I felt it was time to start bringing up the topic of adoption and what it means. This book is very simple and sweet and they both connected to the story very quickly. Choco is a little bird all alone and decides to find his mother. Every animal he goes up to he searches for a similar character to one he has and asks that animal "Are you my mother" After being told no by several animals, Choco is very upset and doesn't even ask the bear in front of him that question whle he sits and cries. The bear comes up and wants to hear why Choco is crying. After learning his story, she asks him lovingly "If you had a Mama, what would she do for you right now?" Choco goes on to tell the Bear what he needs and she acts out every deed just as he explains it. She invites him home to have some pie and meet her other children, who are an Alligator, Pig and Hippo. Choco realizes, that everything he needs is there for him and it doesn't look like what he thought it was supposed to. My daughter (from China) said the first time "But they don't match" I looked her in the eyes and said "Do you and I look exactly alike? My hair is red and yours is black; my eyes are blue and yours are brown"; She acknowledged this as true. I went on, "but you and I love each other very much and you are my daughter forever and ever and I will always be your Mommy, right?" She shook her head yes and seemed happy. My son's reaction at the very same time, "They don't need to match they are a family". This brought a topic to the forefront I had been hesitant to bring up. They both seemed satisfied and we now have a great story to referance when it comes up again in the future; and it will. A great starter book to teach kids people all look different, but it is what we get from the inside that matters and where we all look very much alike. I definitely recommend this for the adopted child, particularly if you've adopted inter-racially.
