Grace loved to get dirty, but she was also pretty good at getting clean. She took proper care of her hands, paid extra attention to her feet, and even remembered to scrub behind her ears. However, there was one body part she tended to forget: her bellybutton. Day after day, her bellybutton got dirtier, stinkier, and filthier. Until after one particularly neglectful bath, Bellybutton decides she'll have to get out there to look and smell great again.

In this lighthearted and comically charming picture book, John Flannery and Mika Song bring to life the sweetly goofy Bellybutton as she teaches Grace (and all her friends) how nice it is to be sparkling clean.

Grace's hands were always soft and smooth, thanks to her regular handwashing. She scrubbed them with soap and water, making sure to get in between her fingers and under her nails. She also used a special lotion to keep them moisturized.

Grace's feet were another area of focus for her hygiene routine. She washed them with soap and water every day, making sure to scrub between her toes and around her ankles. She also used a pumice stone to remove any rough spots or calluses.

Grace's ears were another sensitive area that she took care of. She used a soft cloth to wipe them clean, and she also used a Q-tip to clean out any wax or debris that had built up.

However, there was one body part that Grace tended to forget: her bellybutton. Day after day, her bellybutton got dirtier, stinkier, and filthier. It was a small, hidden part of her body that she didn't think about much.

One day, Grace took a particularly neglectful bath. She didn't scrub her bellybutton as thoroughly as she usually did, and she didn't use any soap or water. As a result, her bellybutton started to smell bad.

Grace was embarrassed and ashamed of her dirty bellybutton. She didn't want to go out in public, and she didn't want anyone to see it. She tried to cover it up with her clothes, but it was still visible.

One day, Grace's friend Mika came over to visit. Mika noticed Grace's dirty bellybutton and asked her about it. Grace was embarrassed to talk about it, but Mika was kind and understanding.

Mika told Grace that it was important to take care of her bellybutton. She explained that it was a sensitive area that could become infected if it wasn't cleaned properly. She also showed Grace how to clean her bellybutton properly.

Mika started by washing Grace's bellybutton with soap and water. She scrubbed it gently, making sure to get in between her fingers and under her nails. She also used a Q-tip to clean out any wax or debris that had built up.

Grace was amazed at how clean her bellybutton felt after Mika cleaned it. She had never felt it so clean before. Mika also showed Grace how to use a special cream to keep her bellybutton moisturized.

Grace was grateful for Mika's help. She started to take care of her bellybutton every day, just like she took care of her hands, feet, and ears. She also started to wear loose-fitting clothes that didn't rub against her bellybutton.

Over time, Grace's bellybutton started to look and smell great again. She no longer felt embarrassed or ashamed of it. She even started to show it off to her friends.

Grace learned that it was important to take care of all of her body parts, even the ones that she didn't think about much. She also learned that it was okay to ask for help when she needed it.

In conclusion, Grace loved to get dirty, but she was also pretty good at getting clean. She took proper care of her hands, feet, and ears, but she tended to forget about her bellybutton. One day, her friend Mika came over to visit and showed her how to clean her bellybutton properly. Grace was amazed at how clean her bellybutton felt after Mika cleaned it, and she started to take care of it every day. Over time, Grace's bellybutton started to look and smell great again, and she no longer felt embarrassed or ashamed of it. She learned that it was important to take care of all of her body parts, even the ones that she didn't think about much, and that it was okay to ask for help when she needed it.
