Recent Reads: The Tea Dragon Festival by Katie O'Neill

My review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Tea Dragon Festival by Katie O'Neill is a lovely graphic novel about Rinn, who is non-binary, trying to find her place in the world.  There are tea dragons (little dragons that live in the village, and everyone cares for them), and a large dragon, who can change into human form, but has been asleep a little longer than he planned.

The Tea Dragon Festival was great for it's inclusivity.  There were characters speaking in American Sign Language only, some with both ASL and voice, and some just some.  This, along with the main character, Rinn being non-binary means it's going to be a very out of the ordinary book, which will make some children (and adults!) feel noticed.

This is the second in the Tea Dragon series, but you don't feel like you're missing out on information when reading it.

The art in this book is lovely!  It's such a beautiful, relaxing read that I would recommend it to everyone!

The Tea Dragon Festival is to be published on 17th September 2019,  and is available to buy on Amazon  and on Waterstones.  I've found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!

You can follow Katie O'Neill on Twitter, or through her website.

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Oni Press (the publishers) for this book.
