A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month February 2021
Join Luna as she throws herself into all the fun of the day. Dressing up as her favourite character (a unicorn), joining all her friends in a great storybook adventure and making her own mini character. Above all, Luna loves buying her World Book Day book, meeting the author and illustrator and getting her book signed.
Having done all of that she knows she has had a perfect World Book Day! Fiona Lumbers’s wonderfully warm and busy illustrations capture the magic of World Book Day perfectly.
‘Not all families look the same –and that is a great message to celebrate’ Laura Dockrill

‘An ode to love and different kinds of families, with lyrical text and richly coloured, warm illustrations’ Irish Independent, Best Books of 2017
