Warum die Menschen einen Nabel haben

Explain, but do not disenchant - a cult book newly illustrated
Lori the parrot breaks out of its narrow cage and flies far to a deep green island that becomes its new home. There he meets Toucan, a big, wise bird who seems to know all the secrets of the jungle except one: He would like to know why people have a navel. Lori, who is used to dealing with people, promises to help. With patience and prudence Lori manages to solve the mystery.
At the same time and seemingly without realizing it, Lori uncovers the secret of conception and birth, and he not only tells his friend Toucan, but also all the readers of this beautiful book about one of the greatest secrets of all. The well-known story of Karen Meffert, new
illustrated by Barbara Connell, is a successful example of how well suspense and enlightenment, adventure and information go together.
