What it is
Choco, a lonely little bird, sets off to find a mother. He asks animals who share one of his features, like yellow wings or round cheeks, but each one turns him away because he doesn't look like them. Then he meets Mrs. Bear, who looks nothing like him but gives him exactly what he needs, and brings him home to her family of other adopted children.
