Description: The Secret of Life Held Within a Little Belly Button! Once children learn about their belly button, they can't help but whisper, "Mommy, Mommy?" all over again. The number one object of curiosity on our bodies—the belly button! As children grow and become curious about their own bodies, the belly button, sitting right in the middle of the tummy, is always at the top of the list. Maybe it's because of where it's located, but this little dimple feels strangely familiar, drawing little fingers to poke at it again and again. Since a fingertip fits perfectly inside, children love to twirl it around, saying "round and round, round and round~," almost as if sending a secret signal somewhere deep inside the body, waiting for a response like telepathy. Why does the belly button feel so much more special than any other spot on our bodies? Perhaps it's because it holds the memory of the ten precious months spent together with mom, back when we were just a tiny seed. Though we've since separated from our mothers and entered the world, the belly button remains as proof—a reminder never to forget the love and time we shared with her. That's why the belly button is such a special subject for storytelling for all of us. The Hidden World of Stories the Belly Button Holds Explaining to children what a belly button is and why we have one is no easy task. In My Belly Button, Round and Round, the story begins by comparing the tiny baby growing in mom's tummy to a small fruit. Just as a pear receives water and nutrients from a tree, growing round and ripening into a golden color, a baby receives nutrients from mom through a long umbilical cord, growing bigger and stronger every day. The book adds an adorable bit of imagination about this special cord too—in the scene imagining "Like an astronaut, maybe?" children will surely giggle at the innocent, playful idea. Just as people look different from one another, belly buttons come in all shapes and sizes too—round, oval, deep-set, or poking out. Isn't it fascinating that even something this small can be so different from person to person? No matter what shape it is, whisper to your child that their belly button is proof that they weren't dropped from the sky, but were born from mom's tummy. Both mom and baby will feel, once again, that they are bound together by an invisible yet unbreakable connection. Korea's First Belly Button Picture Book, Now with a Fresh New Look My Belly Button, Round and Round is Korea's very first picture book to explore the topic of the belly button. Author Heo Eun-mi beautifully shared everything from how the belly button forms, to the belly buttons of various animals, the differences between live-born and egg-born creatures, and the deeper meaning behind this small mark—earning much love from readers over the years. Though it's a topic that never grows old, this timeless story has been refined and given brand-new illustrations, presenting itself to readers with a fresh new look. We hope that even more moms and babies can experience the mystery of life through My Belly Button, Round and Round, remembering the precious ten months that are so easily forgotten.
