Luna Loves Library Day

"Luna Loves Library Day disguises the terror Luna is experiencing. It addresses this BIG grief, Luna’s parents breaking up, which, for many children, can be their first loss. And so I was so grateful to see books themselves offer company, comfort and support with that very thing. Not all families look the same – and that is a great message to celebrate." Laura Dockrill

Luna loves library day: that's the day she spends with her dad. Exploring the shelves they find magic, mystery and even start to mend their own history. An inspiring story from one of the UK's greatest up-and-coming poets for children, captured in all its flights of fancy by newcomer Fiona Lumbers.

Reviews

"This 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

"An ode to love and different kinds of families, with lyrical text and richly coloured, warm illustrations."
