Meet Luna Finch

Welcome to the inner magical workings of Luna Finch

​

After a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 2016, I spent time contemplating what mattered in my life. As a mum of four and Nonna of two, I reflected on the highlights and decided to weave my nostalgia into entertaining stories for generations to come.

​

Each adventure highlights a slice of the amazing world we live in. I began with my home countries: New Zealand and Australia. I have had the good fortune of enjoying both countries throughout my life. Together they both share beautiful diverse landscapes, delightful animals and a mix of cultures calling to be celebrated.

​

I have selected some of my favourite locations to feature in my stories. Some places are well known, whilst other locations are more special to me personally. I have taken great pleasure in highlighting quirky cultural details that have been often shared with and enjoyed by international friends I met, on my own worldwide adventures.

​

Throughout the storylines, I consciously introduce concepts that can assist with allied health goals. After spending a decade in multiple clinics supporting my 3 premature babies to meet their milestones, I became acutely aware of the impact these foundational skills can have over a lifetime. All stories subtly interlace language techniques and multisensory experiences aiming to support the development of literacy, communication and fine/gross motor skills.

​

Most importantly, the Adventures of Koko Possum & Marma-llama have been created upon my deep values of appreciating and embracing diversity in all its forms. Themes of kindness, helpfulness and inclusion are highlighted to create a strong sense of us all existing in this world - together.
