Christian Robinson, an illustrator and animator specializing in children’s books, recently launched a collection with Target filled with colorful home goods and apparel, which parents will love and want to add to their carts immediately. It doesn’t get much cuter than this cat-themed lunch box or this armadillo-shaped pillow, after all. But two items from the collection in particular caught our design eye—sun and moon-themed bookends that will be sure to brighten up any bookshelf (for kids and adults alike). The Sun and Crescent Moon Bookends from the Christian Robinson collection for Target are made with a classic L-shaped bookend design with cutouts forming sun and moon shapes. They’re made from sturdy yet lightweight iron, and are painted in bold orange and bright white. Reviewers note that although they may be small, (the moon version measures 7 x 8 x 5.5 inches and the sun version measures 7.25 x 8 x 5.5 inches), they are plenty strong and hold books without slipping. And at just $12 each, they’re an affordable, playful addition to any bookcase.
