Joyful and inspiring, Luna Loves to Dance celebrates a little girl as she finds the best way of expressing herself through dance. Luna is discouraged because she doesn't complete the steps needed to pass a dance test but, helped by her father and all her friends and relations, she soon finds that all dance steps are part of her everyday life. And she can do them! She can leap and shimmy and boogie. It feels as if she is flying. Suddenly, the world is full of colour and sound again as Luna expresses herself fluently. Children's Laureate and award-winning poet Joseph Coelho's lyrical text and Fiona Lumbars's exuberant illustrations perfectly capture Luna's changing emotions while also inspiring us all to see the special powers of dance.

About
Luna Loves Dance Synopsis
Discover the joy of dancing and the importance of family, whatever your culture, ability or style with Luna! When Luna dances, she feels like the world's volume turns up, like all colours brighten, like sunlight sparkles behind every cloud. But when she takes her dance exam she ducks, dives, spins and... falls. Luna thinks she can't be a real dancer now. Can Luna's family convince her otherwise?
From the team that brought us Luna Loves Library Day, Luna Loves Art, and Luna Loves World Book Day, celebrate every culture and every style of dance with Luna, featuring a glorious fold out carnival page.

Joseph Coelho Press Reviews
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
