Luna Loves Art - Author Joseph Coelho

Luna Loves Art – A Gallery Adventure Through Famous Works and Feelings!

Step into the colourful world of art with Luna and her class in Luna Loves Art, a beautifully told picture book by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho, with vibrant illustrations by Fiona Lumbers. On a school trip to the art gallery, Luna is captivated by the paintings and sculptures—but her classmate Finn seems distant and upset.

As they explore masterpieces by Van Gogh, Warhol, Hirst, and Matisse, Luna begins to realise that families come in all shapes and forms—and sometimes, what someone needs most is a friend who listens. This poetic story gently introduces young children to famous art, while opening up conversations about empathy, understanding, and diverse families.
