Joseph has also been a guest poet on Cbeebiesâ Rhyme Rocket.Fiona Lumbers (Illustrator) Fiona Lumbers has drawn on anything and everything from an early age and always insisted she would be an artist when she grew up. Fiona moved to London in 2000 to study for an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art. A combination of her obsession with picture books and the arrival of her first son led her down the path of illustration and she hasn't looked back since. Nothing makes her happier than splashing watercolours and inks and conjuring up new characters - often influenced by the exploits of her two sons."This is a touching reflection on the power of reading to bring families together; Fiona Lumbersâ illustrations convey Lunaâs vivid inner life, while Coelhoâs 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."
Irish Independent, Best Books of 2017
"Luna Loves Library Day disguises the terror Luna is experiencing. It addresses this BIG grief, Lunaâs 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."
Laura Dockrill
"A lovely book about the power of libraries to stoke the imagination... Never doubt the power of a book, nor the essential importance of a library to the soul of a community"
Early Years Educator
"An affectionate, loving and gentle story that approaches the subject of separated/divorced parents, brilliant accompanied by spot-on heartwarming illustrations, ensuring that, no matter what, children will feel loved."
