Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009, 12:30 – 2 pm!
San Jose, Calif., July 10, 2009 – Just in time for “Back to School,” local talents announce the release of bilingual children’s book, “Luna Needs a Miracle!” with a book launch party at the Ste. Claire Hotel in downtown San Jose, Calif., on Sunday, August 16, 2009 from 12:30 – 2:30 pm. The book was written by starred chef of more than 20 years, Paul Luna, and illustrated by college student, Gabrielle Gramegna—both South Bay residents. While the event is free, attendees must RSVP, as space is limited and the chef will execute a variety of treats. (Call (408) 271-3358, (808) 344-0958 or email info@chefluna.com to RSVP.)
Aged more than 20 years apart, the unlikely pair combined their talents to bring to life the story of a young Spanish-speaking boy, also named Luna, who experiences the fear of not speaking English on his first day at school and learns the magic of the unspoken. (more…)

… And It’s Not About Food!
Check it out!
San Jose, Calif., June 22, 2009 – Surprising many of his family members, close friends and loyal customers, Chef Paul Luna announced last week the publication of a bilingual children’s book called, Luna Needs a Miracle!, a short story treating such issues as love and fear, family and friendship—not food or the food industry.
The author has pre-ordered the book at mass quantities to be able to offer it at a price significantly lower than the expected $31.99 retail price. Those who request the book directly from him by sending him an email at info@chefluna.com, or filling out the email form on his website, www.chefluna.com, will be offered the reduced rate while supplies last.
“Experiencing something radically different from what you know can be frightening, but it can also create a window of opportunity upon which you can take action with clarity and confidence,” said Luna, explaining the experience of the book’s character of the same name, who fears his first day at school because he does not speak or understand English.
