Theodore has been on a rainbow kick recently. If it has rainbows on it he’s in love with it. Doesn’t matter if we’re talking about shoes, stickers, or books. That’s when we received a press pitch about“Luna Finds Love Everywhere” byDr. Shainna Ali I knew we needed to request a copy. Not only did the rainbow on the cover hit the spot for his love of colors… But the story and images in the book have become part of our bedtime routine at least once a week.
Meet Luna, a little girl who loves playing outside, helping her family, and learning new things. As Luna goes through her regular daily routine, she realizes how much love there is to appreciate around her and within herself too.

Luna Finds Love Everywhere: A Self-Love Book for Kids by Dr. Shainna Ali was released last month (August 2021) by Ulysses Press. This beautifully illustrated children’s book shows readers how the lessons of sharing, kindness, and gratitude in the midst of disappointment can expand the horizons of one’s life. The book is filled with simple conversational prompts and activities that help children to explore ideas of age-appropriate self-love.
Dr. Shainna Ali is the bestselling author of The Self-Love Workbook and The Self-Love Workbook for Teens. She is a mental health clinician, educator, and advocate dedicated to highlighting the important role of mental health in fostering happiness, fulfillment, and overall wellness. Her passion for sharing about self-love began when she recognized how influential self-love was in transforming her personal well-being. As she worked with individuals of diverse walks of life, she began to notice a key theme across their journeys: a lack of self-love.
With Luna Finds Love Everywhere, parents can engage with their little ones as they ask questions about Luna’s life and, perhaps, their own as well. Utilize your creativity, and welcome your child’s imagination as they reflect on the book’s prompts and connect the themes into their own lives. Together, you will celebrate the many ways we can love and appreciate each other and ourselves!
