The tea dragons are back for another heart-warming volume! In this sequel to The Tea Dragon Society, actually set in the past, we follow Rinn, who is a gatherer for their village. One day, Rinn stumbles on an abandoned building in the forest and awakens a dragon, but not the tea variety.

This comic book is oh-so-cute and charming. It’s the perfect escape to find solace in a stressful day. The colours are soft and enchanting, just like the story. This one did not focus on the tea dragons as much as volume one did, but it dealt with themes of belonging, home, and letting go that were so touching. Kay O’Neill has crafted a perfectly inclusive and diverse narrative with so much heart! I don’t know what to say more, except that these books are gems and if I could live in another world, I’d probably pick that one.

Rep : characters aren’t gendered. They are diverse, and one of them is deaf (prompting everyone to use both vocal and sign language).
