Solomon has always thought his two belly buttons were perfectly ordinary—until he discovers that everyone else has only one. Suddenly, a small difference becomes a very big question. Stephen J. Dubner tells a playful story about individuality, self-consciousness, and learning to value what makes us unusual. Christoph Niemann’s bold, witty illustrations give the tale a warm comic energy. A reassuring picture book for children who have ever felt like the exception to the rule.
