This is a rich, well-explored world, accompanied by beautiful artwork and an engaging, gentle story. Learning about the tea dragons was a delight, and I loved the inclusion of the informative entry at the end. The book was structured by season, which I felt was engaging and fun. The artwork for each chapter break was adorable. 

I also enjoyed following the characters on their journeys; learning about their pasts, presents and futures. Each relationship felt developed, even in the short time we got to know about it. The arching message in the story is well-conveyed, and something I hold close to my heart. It left me with a warm, nostalgic feeling as I saw the final double page spreads. 

I hope to get hold of the sequel soon.
