Everybody Has A Belly Button

Discusses human life before birth and, hence, the reason for the bellybutton.

Everybody has a bellybutton, Everybody has a nose, Everybody has a mouth, Everybody has toes. Everybody has hair . . . Some have black or brown or blonde or red, Some have gray or silver on their head. The different colors all aglow . . . Make everybody special, like a rainbow. Everybody Has a Belly Button is a timeless and delightful book for babies and toddlers that teaches our youngest readers about skin color, equality, and equity in the same way we teach our babies to find their belly button, nose, eyes, and toes. Cerina Vincent's effortless rhymes and Zoi Hunter's digital watercolor designs illustrate that “every body” is the same. And the subtle differences in our bodies’ colors (eyes, hair, skin) is what makes us all beautiful and special, “like a rainbow.” Babies learn through rhyme—it boosts brain activity and early literacy—and Everybody Has a Belly Button starts the conversation about racial equality immediately while also tenderly pointing out their other tiny body parts.

An award-winning science writer and veteran natural-science illustrator look at belly buttons and how they are made in this easy-to-understand book designed specially for young children. Belly buttons! Everyone has one. Some are innies. Some are outies. And they always fascinate young children. Why humans have belly buttons and why some animals do-and others do not-is the subject of this informative, fascinating look at the lifeline that attaches mammals to their mothers before birth. Using simple but scientifically-accurate terms and anatomically-correct illustrations, the book carefully explains to children what umbilical cords are, how they help a developing fetus receive oxygen inside the mother's womb, and finally, how belly buttons (or navels) are created after the baby is born and the cord is cut. The book also depicts how humans and other mammals continue to nourish their young after birth, and looks at the special circumstance surrounding the births of certain animals, such as panda bears, African elephants and blue whales.

A delightful, straightforward book to help answer children's questions about birth, babies, and their own anatomy. Definitely worth contemplating!
