Owl and Bear are playing in the forest when Owl notices something very strange on Bear’s belly. “What’s that?” she asks. “That’s my belly button,” Bear replies, as though it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

Except, for Owl, it isn’t obvious at all.

After searching through her chest feathers and finding nothing, Owl comes to a terrible conclusion: she must have lost her belly button! Determined to find it before Mother finds out, Owl and Bear set off on a frantic search through the woods, seeking advice from a cast of well-meaning forest critters along the way. But with so many places to look, and so many confusing clues, will Owl ever solve the mystery of her missing belly button?

With soft, hand-painted illustrations in a soothing pastel palette, Have You Seen My Belly Button? is a heartfelt and humorous story about friendship, curiosity, and learning that our differences are often the very things that make us special.

Perfect for any child who’s ever lost something precious, this gentle woodland adventure reminds children that sometimes the answers we’re searching for can only come from someone who loves us most.
