Luna – From the Cradle to the Moon

“Luna – From the Cradle to the Moon” is a charming board-book designed especially for the youngest readers, aged 0 to 3 years. Authored by Antonio Rubio and illustrated by Óscar Villán, this 16-page book (format 16×16 cm, hardcover) invites little ones into a rhythmic and visual journey through the moon, the sun, and their gentle interplay in the sky. 

The book belongs to the celebrated collection “De la cuna a la luna” by Kalandraka and uses what the author calls “poegrams” — pictographic poems that blend simple imagery and rhythmic language to engage early-readers’ eyes and ears. 

In “Luna” the pictograms and rhymes work as more than just a story: they act like a lullaby, encouraging interaction between parent and child, providing a calm moment of shared focus. The simplified visuals and repeated patterns make it especially suited for babies and toddlers — it supports vocabulary development, rhythm awareness and early literacy in a playful format. 

From a practical perspective, its durable board-book construction suits the small hands of babies, and the 16 × 16 cm size means it’s both easy to handle and attractive as a visual object. The collection’s intention is to treat the book “as if it were a toy” — inviting exploration, pointing, and parent-led recitation. 

Ideal for bedtime, waking-up ritual or quiet moments, “Luna” helps you introduce your child to the magical cycle of moon and sun, to rhythm and imagery, and to the habit of enjoying books from the very beginning. A meaningful addition to a baby’s first library or gift shelf.
