Summary: Great Discussion Piece
Comment: A Mother for Choco is a story about a lonely, little bird who goes in search of a mother. He asked all kinds of animals about his mother, but unfortunately, nobody looked just like him. Eventually, he finds someone who is just like a mother to him, even though she doesn't look like Choco, and his is very happy. This book does an excellent job of explaining the touchy subject of foster/adopted children. Since the book uses animals to describe this relationship, children may have a better understanding of this type of situation and be more accepting of it. It may also help foster/adopted children to accept their own situations as well as explain it to others. It is a very easy book to read and it creates a warm, satisfying feeling with its readers. The illustrations adequately depict the story and keep the reader's attention. Younger students especially seem to relate to Choco, whether they are in the same situation or not. They even seem to have a more accepting attitude about this subject and understand that this is something that actually happens. It's an excellent book to use at home or in the classroom; a great discussion piece.

Summary: Thumbs up from an adoptive mom!
Comment: Who couldn't love Choco?! We have five children in our family from four different racial backgrounds and we love this book - not many books address such diversity! But enough of the academic, Choco is just a plain old fun story - great reading for anyone. You'll have to find a different book to explain birthparents and the whole adoption process, though. Choco just sort of pops out of nowhere and wanders into just the right home for him.

Summary: Wonderful story for adoptive families
Comment: I found this book while looking for something that tells children
about the important 'stuff' about adoption. This really tells it
all in a way that any child, and adult, can't fail to understand.
Choco searches for her mother, assuming that someone who looks
like Choco might be the one. Instead, just when he/she has given
up, she finds someone who knows what counts, and is happy to
bring Choco home. There's a little surprise at the end. I think
it's perfect for any adoptive family, especially a blended one.
