Jonna is an orphan and dreams of a mother. One day a tired car rolls up in front of the orphanage, and Jonna becomes hopeful. But out of the car comes a Gorilla! Jonna hesitates going with Gorilla home to where she lives. Gorilla turns out to be the nicest mom Jonna could get, she both loves books and is very good at comforting with her long, soft arms.
