![]() ![]() What I love about Isadora is that it is equally boys and girls who have shuffled up or sent their mums over to find out what we are reading showing her universal appeal. Isadora Moon books have come with us to play dates, Days out and visits to relatives, the white, pink and black pages a constant source of happiness and continuously a source of curiosity from both parents and other children. We highly recommend going to an event with Harriet Muncaster if you ever get the chance! We’ve even been lucky enough to attend an author event at a local bookstore which Littlefae enjoyed thoroughly to discover she was half Fairy, half Snow-Rabbit which is a very good fit for her. Since our first book, Isadora Moon has become a firm fixture in our reading, for our pleasure, bedtimes, anytime. Littlefae having the best time at the Isadora Moon event at Mostly Books in Abingdon I’m grateful that Harriet had the inspiration to work with the idea to suit a children’s market, creating a highly illustrated 2-colour process young readers book and so the evolution of Isadora Moon began. Harriet Muncaster created Isadora Moon as a children’s book inspired by a character she had been developing since her Art Foundation course called Victoria Stitch, she is similarly pink and gothy but a little too spiky and grown up for the 5-7 age range! Check out this post on Harriet’s official website discussing the process. I think Littlefae identifies strongly with Isadora Moon thanks to an alternative vibe in our home, mummy is probably a grown up Isadora too and Littlefae began to read these when Tinyfae was an older baby/younger toddler like Honeyblossom and she loves to walk the line between pink and black, Princess Aurora and Wednesday Addams in equal measure. I kept seeing this half-vampire half-fairy irrepressible creature so of course I became viridescent with envy and sought out the books for my own little fairy gothling. I first came across Isadora Moon after seeing some other members of a review scheme I belong to had been offered some of the earliest books which were released closely together. Isadora Moon is becoming iconic in the 5-8ish market overseas especially in Spanish-speaking countries and it deserves to be just as popular everywhere so if you haven’t got on board with Isadora, I recommend you do! We are going to be celebrating by going to a local bookshop hosted party and yes, there are costumes! They are especially precious to us because they are the first books Littlefae started to read aloud by herself rather than Biff, Chip & Kipper etc, she was inspired by Isadora to start reading! In fact it’s pretty great to just be yourself.Today is Isadora Moon Day, celebrating everything Isadora Moon by the fabulous author and illustrator Harriet Muncaster and I urge you to seek out this highly illustrated early chapter series if you haven’t already. But with the help of Pink Rabbit and some new friends Isadora soon learns that it’s okay to be different. However Isadora is unsure where she belongs and after spending a day at fairy school and a night at vampire school she decides that she isn’t very good at being either a vampire or a fairy and begins to question how different she is. Isadora's mum (a fairy) and her dad (a vampire) decide it’s time for her to go to school and choose between a school for vampires or a school fairies. Beautifully presented throughout with pink and black illustrations that alongside the text and easy to follow chapters make this a lovely step up book for newly independent readers. Isadora Moon is an adorable, friendly Vampire Fairy trying to find her way and this is a lovely start to what promises to be a delightful series.
