Description
Gr 4 Up—Greta 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 form—the 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 story—some details are so lush that they give the appearance of tapestries.
VERDICT This warm and funny story would be a wonderful addition to most graphic novel collections. It
quietly illustrates and normalizes a variety of family situations and personal identities.—Kelley Gile,

School Library Journal'The magic of the world is in the forefront as the novel and color palette move from
season to season, beginning and ending with spring. Greta's story is soft and sweet, a journey of growing
love and friendships.' Source: Shelf Awareness'Old crafts are falling by the wayside in the enchanting
fantasy world of Oâ€Neillâ€s second graphic novel, following Princess Princess Ever After. Part
goblin, part human, Greta, a girl with brown skin and squat horns, is learning her motherâ€s trade of
blacksmithing, even though swords arenâ€t 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. Oâ€Neill sets her story over four chapters, one for each season, gradually
expanding Gretaâ€s 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. (Thereâ€s 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 nurturing friendships and traditions.' Source: Publisher's Weekly Read
