This was the most precious and amazing little story!
As always Katie O’Neill, has some of the cutest and most amazing characters in her books and this on is no exception. This was so precious and lovely, and as always, the artstyle was so beautiful!

This was absolutely adorable! The illustrations are beautiful and the message was perfect. Another amazing read from Katie O'Neill!

What a lovely book. So colourful and engaging. Children and adults alike with love this book and Dewdrop. Just be yourself and spread a little kindness is the moral.
The pictures draw you into the book. The book shows a little love and kindness goes a long way.

This is such a wonderful and uplifting little book.

Dewdrop is so encouraging and works to empathize with their friends to try to make sure that they aren't damaging their mental or physical health.

The different characters all have different struggles that they face. They all overcome their issues with simple, relatable solutions, and they're generally positive and relatable overall.

I think that this is such an important little book for young readers. It shows readers that everyone struggles at times, but with the proper encouragement and a different look on life you can accomplish anything. I cannot wait to share this with my younger reader friends, older friends, kiddos --- well, anyone! This was such a delight!

I'm definitely going to be a long-term Katie O'Neill fan!

Dewdrop (the book and the character) is absolutely precious! I've come to be a great fan of Katie O'Neill and her distinctive and beautiful art style, so while this is a simple children's book, I couldn't wait to read it and now that I've had the chance (and privilege) to read the ARC, I know that I have to have the hardcopy when it releases as well. The message is relevant, sweet, and super palatable for young and old(er) alike. Dewdrop and her talented friends are a joy to meet and I hope that we get more books in this adorable world. 5 out of 5 wine glasses.

An adorable book about not competing with others, only with bettering yourself. Katie O'Neill kills it per usual. This one would be perfect for younger readers than her other books, probably K-2.

What a cute little comic style story about the importance of self love. When you stop trying to please everyone and competing with everyone you are able to spend more time loving yourself and creating confidence. An important message for everyone. I enjoyed Dewdrops self confidence and how she made everyone else feel good about themselves for just being themselves.

Dewdrop is just about the cutest thing. Of course I have come to expect nothing less than from the wonderful, Katie O' Neill. Dewdrop is wholesome and heart warming, with positive uplifting messages for your children to absorb as they read. It also features lots of dialogue free pages, so you can ask your kid to describe the story and work out details on their own.

This book is just absolutely adorable. The characters are so cute that you just instantly love them all. They are each trying to work on something for the upcoming sports fair and are struggling with their part. The main character goes to each one to encourage them. The book is basically a hybrid between a picture book and a graphic novel. It would be a great way to introduce the concept of a graphic novel to younger kids.

A sweet simple little story about trying your best and not measuring yourself against others. This is a great book for young children to help show them how important friendship and supporting each other is, as well as being true to yourself. I loved Dewdrop, such a cute Axolotl! When I saw that the main character was a Axolotl I knew that I had to read this! Again Katie's illustrations are gorgeous, they really make the book something special, the colours and expressions on the character's faces are just darling. I'd highly recommend this to anyone with small children (and maybe for their own inner child).

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this comic!

My rating: 5 stars


I am a huge fan of Katie O'Neill so obviously I instantly requested this when I saw it on NetGalley! The artwork was stunning, as always, the story was short but impactful, like with all her graphic novels!

This is the perfect book for children and adults alike. Dewdrop and his friends were absolutely adorable and the messages O'Neill weaves into her work are so effortless and necessary.

My only complaint is that I wanted more!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Oni Press for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is a children's book. I found it to be a bit blah. Everything was just ok. Maybe it was just a little to "cute" for me. I rate it a 3.

As soon as I heard that Katie O'Neill was coming out with another book I had to read it. I absolutely love the messages she weaves into her books and her art style. The bright color palette and her adorable characters are sure to draw anyone in, but in all her works there are beautiful stories and messages that are great for all ages.

Dewdrop is an adorable little axolotl who loves being a cheerleader and encouraging his friends. As they are preparing for the sports festival each of his friends encounter setbacks with what they are trying to do, but Dewdrop is there to help them through their difficulties and offer support.

This was such as a wonderful read that will be amazing for younger children, I'll definitely be picking up a copy for my niece once it comes out!

“The only person I need to compete with is myself and try to do better than I did yesterday.”

Katie O'Neill is my favourite graphic novel author and illustrator of all time, so when I heard she was coming out with a children's picture book, I was so excited! This story follows an axolotl and her friends as they prepare for and compete in their pond's very own sports fair. All of Dewdrop's friends are struggling with feelings of doubt and insecurity, but Dewdrop comes along and reminds them of what's really important. It is literally the sweetest book ever with the most beautiful illustrations to match.

This one is out April 7th, 2020! Thank you so much to netgalley and oni press for the review copy!

Cute cute book for young readers. The story follows little Dewdrop who is so supportive to all of the friends participating in a sports event. They are each feeling a bit down on themselves and Dewdrop says just the right thing to make each one feel better. A perfect story for a pre-K age child.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I adore The Tea Dragon Society graphic novels so as soon as I saw this I hit request! Katie O'Neills art style is perfect for children, she creates such imaginative characters.
This is exactly the type of positive friendships representation children need to read about. Encouraging your friends and being there for them is the message Katie O'Neill has tried to convey in Dewdrop and it was evident on every page.
I loved everything about this book.

This was absolutely precious. Katie O'Neill's adorable art style lends so well to children's fiction and my heart is soaring. So cute!!!

As always, Katie O'Neill is the sweetest soul. This adorable book shows Dewdrop encouraging his friends when they feel the pressure of being the best get to them. As a mother, I see this happen so often. I love the sweet approach Dewdrop takes. Not to mention, THE ILLUSTRATIONS. Can we just all agree that Ms. O'Neill could draw goop and it'd be adorable? Perfection.

This is one of the most beautifully done children's books I have ever seen. The story is engaging, the characters are expressive, and it has the perfect message to share with its audience. It has a clear message that encourages other people to be themselves and spread kindness to others. O'Neill has outdone herself once again with her beautiful art and adorable storyline. I love this book so much. Thank you for the chance to read and review it!
