Small Life Lessons

JWoodall.Art Author Interview

The Curious Quest of Little Luna follows a fox who stumbles upon a mysterious treasure map in the woods, sending her on a whimsical journey filled with excitement, challenges, and meaningful moments. What was the inspiration for your story?

The inspiration for Little Luna came from watching my own children explore with such curiosity and wonder. I wanted to create a story that encouraged that same spirit of adventure—one that blends imagination with small life lessons. Luna’s journey is not just about finding treasure, but about what she learns along the way.

What were some educational aspects that were important for you to include in this children’s book?

One of my goals was to subtly introduce problem-solving, emotional resilience, and the value of curiosity. Luna faces challenges that require her to think, adapt, and sometimes lean on the help of others. These moments offer gentle reminders to young readers that it’s okay to make mistakes, ask questions, or feel uncertain—as long as you keep moving forward.

What scene in the book did you have the most fun writing?

Rather than one specific scene, what I enjoyed most was the process of introducing new characters as the story progressed. Each one added a unique energy and helped shape Luna’s journey in a meaningful way.

Is this the first book in the series? If so, when is the next book coming out, and what can your fans expect in the next story?

The Curious Quest of Little Luna is a standalone story and not part of a planned series. Luna’s journey wraps up in this book.

The Curious Quest of Little Luna

The Curious Quest of Little Luna by JWoodall.Art Publishing is a delightful and visually enchanting tale that captures the magic of friendship, adventure, and self-discovery. From the moment Luna the Fox stumbles upon a mysterious treasure map in the woods, readers are swept into a whimsical journey filled with excitement, challenges, and meaningful moments.

Luna’s quest is anything but solitary. She’s soon joined by a lovable cast of characters, Benny the wise Owl, Fin the cautious but loyal Turtle, and Tilly the joyful Rabbit. Together, they navigate a beautifully imagined world where the real treasure isn’t gold or gems, but the friendships they forge and the truths they uncover about themselves.

Told in playful rhyming verse, the story has a lyrical charm that adds a sing-song quality to Luna’s journey. While the rhyme occasionally strays from perfect rhythm, the effort to infuse the narrative with musicality is commendable and adds to the storybook feel, especially for young readers when read aloud.

The anime-inspired illustrations are vibrant and imaginative, bringing Luna and her companions to life in creative and expressive ways. While the art style shifts throughout the book, these changes add a dynamic energy to each page, keeping the visuals engaging and fresh. Luna and Tilly embody a soft, bishojo-inspired aesthetic, while Benny and Fin have a more traditional anthropomorphic design, a mix that adds visual diversity and charm.

At its core, this is a story with a beautiful message. Luna’s final choice, valuing wisdom and inner truth over magical gain, is both touching and profound. The narrative handles the classic “the journey is the treasure” theme with sincerity and emotional depth, making it resonate rather than feel cliché. Even chapters that revisit familiar ground reinforce important lessons, enriching the overall arc.

Each character brings something special: Tilly’s effervescent energy, Benny’s gentle guidance, Fin’s steadfastness, and Luna’s quiet growth. These personalities give young readers someone to root for on every page.

Perfect for ages 7 and up, The Curious Quest of Little Luna is an uplifting, beautifully illustrated tale that’s best enjoyed together, especially by families who appreciate imaginative stories with strong messages. It’s a journey worth taking and a book worth cherishing. Luna’s adventure reminds us all that the greatest treasure lies not at the end of the path, but in the hearts we touch along the way.
