More about Luna the Loon and her Marvelous Tune below!

Luna wishes she was a clever kiwi like her friend Kare but learns to embrace her differences as she discovers some unique and wonderful talents of her own. Luna is a loon who sings beautifully, but wishes she was special like her kiwi friend Kare, who has a unique long beak, perfect for digging for bugs on the forest floor. When Kare is lost, Luna takes flight to search for him, discovering that she too has unique skills and talents that make her special in her own way. Through her friendship with Kare, Luna learns to embrace her differences, while discovering the spirit of being a kind-hearted kiwi. This heartwarming story of self-discovery features striking, jewel-toned illustrations that bring to life the glorious birdlife and stunning natural beauty of New Zealand.
