Luna Loves Books captures children’s magic at entering the world of a story. For Luna and her friends that means dressing up as a character and entering the world of story in role.
Luna loves her unicorn outfit. It is perfect for wearing when an author and illustrator come to visit school and lead everyone off on exciting adventures. But when it rips and Luna is sad, her dad quickly takes her to the bookshop . Here, they are creating potato characters which are just perfect for playing parts in stories, too.

Joseph Coelho Press Reviews
Praise for Luna Loves...;
This delightful tale shows young children that, with perseverance and determination, they can overcome setbacks and follow their dreams - BookTrust
Luna Loves Art offers [the comfort that] not all families look the same - and that is a great message to celebrate. Laura Dockrill
Luna Loves Library Day is a touching reflection on the power of reading to bring families together; Fiona Lumbers' illustrations convey Luna's vivid inner life, while Coelho's lyrical style celebrates the joyful curiosity of early childhood. Amnesty International
