Descriptions

Gr 4 UpGreta is a young blacksmith apprentice who wonders whether her mother's craft is still relevant in contemporary society. When she rescues a little lost dragon in the marketplace and returns it to its owners, Greta learns about another fading art formthe care of tea dragons, small creatures who grow tea leaves out of their horns and antlers. She becomes fascinated with the enchanting dragons and their caretakers, and begins to appreciate how traditional crafts can create their own kind of magic by enriching lives, including hers. This book is wonderfully inclusive, and depicts a distinct and expressive cast of LGBTQIA characters and people of color. The title is reminiscent of a younger, more innocent version of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples's 'Saga,' with many of the main characters possessing horns and antlers. The artwork is soft and fluid, with lots of rounded edges and complementary tones. The backgrounds are an integral and memorable part of the storysome details are so lush that they give the appearance of tapestries.

It quietly illustrates and normalizes a variety of family situations and personal identities.Kelley Gile, Cheshire Public Library, CT Read more 'Undeniably whimsical and extremely cute.'

Part goblin, part human, Greta, a girl with brown skin and squat horns, is learning her mothers trade of blacksmithing, even though swords arent used for much anymore. After rescuing a tiny tea dragon that has gotten lost at the market, Greta starts learning how to care for these creatures, whose horns sprout leaves that are harvested for tea. ONeill sets her story over four chapters, one for each season, gradually expanding Gretas world and her understanding of it. Colored in a palette of warm greens, pinks, oranges, and blues, her delicately drawn panels hum with a subtle romantic energy, particularly when Greta learns the backstory between the two remaining members of the Tea Dragon Society, a goatlike creature named Hesekiel and his strapping, wheelchair-using partner, Erik. (Theres also a whiff of burgeoning romance between Greta and Minette, a girl with unreliable memories who is also learning to care for the dragons.) A quiet, charming story of nur
