Science meets myth in this inspiring story about a curious little stargazer from award-winning picture book creator Bethan Woollvin.
Luna loves the sky and finding out about all the wonders she can see above her. But the villagers can't stop worrying about the mythical Sky Dragon - a fearsome creature who is said to dwell in the sky.
Can Luna share her love of the sky and show the villagers that the Sky Dragon is nothing to be afraid of?
Featuring a guide to some of the most famous constellations and fun facts about the milky way, eclipses, comets, and other astronomical phenomena.
Luna and the Sky Dragon is a warm and funny story from Bethan Woollvin, author-illustrator of New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book Little Red.
Bethan Woollvin won the Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2014 for Little Red - her bold interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood. It was a startlingly confident debut, which she followed with an equally striking and feminist take on Rapunzel, with not a handsome prince in sight. The eldest in a family of ten children, Bethan understands well what appeals to a variety of age groups, and all her work exudes a natural dry wit and charm. Her other self-authored picture books include Hansel and Gretel, I Can Catch a Monster, and Three Little Vikings. She is also the illustrator of Meet the Planets by Caryl Hart. Bethan graduated from Anglia Ruskin University with a First Class Degree in Illustration in 2015 and now lives in Sheffield, England.
