I love the diversity rep on all of Kay O'Neill's works. They are a must in every children's library.
This one has got an air of etherealness to it.

I am absolutely in love with this series! It is like a warm hug in book form! The characters, the illustrations, the world, the story everything is so well developed and beautiful! I loved the inclusion of American Sign Language and how it was portrayed. I have never seen a book have Sign Language done so well before. I am going to enjoy and be rereading this series for years to come and can't recommend this book enough!!!

I think I enjoyed The Tea Dragon Festival even more then the first book in this series just because it's much longer so you spend more time in this fantasy world full of vibrant nature, homemade meals, friendship and diverse people and creatures. I especially appreciated the incorporation of sign language and Rinn, a genderfluid character using they/them pronouns.
I would happily gift these books to any and every child (and adult) in my life!

The art is so colourful and the lines so soft and I just want to live in it. Very wholesome. More plot focused then the first part. Love the inclusion of sign language.
