A little boy, who washes his own clothes and lives alone, one day realizes he needs a mom to be truly happy. He sets out to find one. In his search, he asks a bear and then a rooster if they want to be his mom; when they cannot, the baby takes them in and adds them to his journey. Finally, he finds a mom who is also looking for a little one to complete her life. A wonderful picture book about what family is and how it is built, with multiple layers of meaning such as adoption or different types of families, told with the sensitivity and humor of Janet and Allan Ahlberg.
