Luna Oscura — A Bilingual Children’s Picture Book About Belonging, Magic & Community (English & Spanish)

Luna Oscura is a beautifully illustrated bilingual children’s picture book that explores the universal desire to be loved, accepted, and seen. Told in both English and Spanish, this heartfelt story teaches children the importance of embracing diversity, challenging fear-based beliefs, and finding strength through community and self-acceptance.

Set in a deep, dark forest, the story follows Luna, a black cat who is ostracized by her community due to superstition. With the help of her loyal companion, Toad, Luna embarks on a journey to find not only her forever home, but her inner power—discovering along the way that black cats are not something to fear, but something magical.

Through rich storytelling and expressive illustrations, Luna Oscura gently introduces themes of compassion, courage, belonging, and inclusion in a way that is age-appropriate and deeply meaningful.

Perfect for storytime, classrooms, and families seeking bilingual books that celebrate empathy, diversity, and emotional growth.
