It's an oldie but goodie about a mother kangaroo who is born without a pocket and has no way to carry around her baby, Freddy. The book is illustrated by the same person who illustrated the Curious George books.
Mama kangaroo talks to many friends in the animal kingdom in hopes of resolving her pocket problem. Help eventually comes in the form of a special apron that allows her to carry her baby.
A gifted education teacher introduced me to the book and said it's a good book to use for discussions regarding imperfection, overcoming obstacles and failure. I've also heard it can be useful in special education classes where some children may need adaptive tools that others don't need.
Happy Reading!
