Luna’s Colour Quest follows a little fox who receives a vintage camera and a simple challenge from her grandmother, who discovers that the most beautiful moments aren’t always captured on film, but felt with the heart. What inspired you to create Luna’s story?

I was inspired to create the story of Luna when I would daydream about spending time with my daughter, and wanted to create something that I could share with her when she gets older.

The story explores the difference between looking and truly seeing. Why was that important to you?

I believe that to “truly see” is to allow yourself to be present in a moment, which can sometimes get lost in the noise of technology today, so making that distinction was very important to me.

The watercolour illustrations are very soft and nostalgic. What did you want children to feel when they open the book?

I wanted the world of Willowbrook to feel “lived-in,” so when a child opens the book, they’re dropping straight into Luna’s life, as it’s happening, and they feel a sense of anticipation and excitement along with Luna.

Will Luna return in future adventures?

I honestly thought of this being a one-off story, since I’m a first-time author, but after finishing, I’ve been motivated to explore future stories for Luna.
