"""Lively, lyrical prose is well-matched by the vibrant, animated illustrations, expressively depicting cute Luna (who is biracial), her supportive family, and the inclusive array of other kids and adults. While dance-themed, this charming title provides an encouraging, uplifting message, primarily about surmounting self-doubt and finding delight in creative self-expression."" -- Booklist ""This sweet story and its uplifting messages is an easy purchase to recommend."" -- School Library Journal ""The 'real dancer' language fades away as Luna leaps ""over hard times, with joy,"" on a spread full of color and laughter. This story taps into fears about being good enough and delivers a lovely message about doing what brings joy. The illustrations use color and background to highlight Luna's moods. ... Just might have readers getting up to dance."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Luna Loves Dance is a wonderful addition to this series by the incredible duo of author Joseph Coelho and illustrator Fiona Lumbers. ... Luna continues to be amazing, inspiring, and relatable for young readers."" -- Nanny Miss Monique ""I appreciate the natural opportunities the book provides to learn about different types of dance and customs. The book addresses something that most kids will be able to relate to: wanting so badly to be good at something that they really enjoy but struggle with. Luna feels the disappointment of the failed tryout (reminding kids that it's okay to feel upset), but she doesn't give up on dancing."" -- The Kid Lit Mama ""The author paints a beautiful picture of self-acceptance, building self-esteem, and loving oneself through the book. ... This story is a celebration of dance, family, and multiculturalism. I loved seeing the diversity: a brown girl with puffy hair, a blonde mom, and a black dad."" -- Homeschooling Abhi ""These are 1000% books I wish I knew about when my kids were younger. They beautifully tackle more difficult topics such as divorce, loneliness, and perfectionism in a really child friendly way. Combine the thoughtfully handled SEL themes with the high quality details ... and these make for incredibly memorable and treasured reads. The Luna Series would make for the most perfect gifts for the young people in your life."" -- Kids Lit is Lit ""Luna Loves Dance is a celebration of movement and giving all you got! ... Joseph Coelho & Fiona Lumbers capture so many cultures in this book."" -- Storymamas LUNA LOVES DANCE, is really special. It gets down to the core of what every dancer needs to find--love for the expression of dance even if you don't always meet your own or others' expectations. -- Liberty Reads ""You can't go wrong with any of the books in this series; they're all beautifully illustrated, relatable books for toddlers. ... This one is a great choice for instilling confidence in little readers."" Little Cub Literacy"
