My Super Belly Button

By Ninka Reittu

A humorous yet tender tale about body awareness, this book is as uplifting and recognizable as Ninka Reittu’s previous superhero title, the Finlandia nominated Are Super Loved. “I have nice feet I can run with. Hands, to do many things with. Ears, eyes, nose and mouth, all my very own. In the middle of my tummy sits a tiny button, my super cool belly button! Every part of me is just the perfect size.“  A delightful picture book that strives to help readers recognize that each and everyone is perfect, just the way they are.
