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! |

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 was the most adorable, the most cutest thing I have ever read in my life. I've always wanted to pick up a Katie O'Neill book but thanks to book buying ban...*panic/unahppy laughter* I can't. Thankfully, this beauty popped up on NetGalley for my reading pleasure. Her artwork is amazing. Beautiful and cute and colourful - really impactful and I'm just, ugh, in love with it. No wonder everyone else loves it too. It's such a cute story as well (yeah I'm saying cute a lot). It had such important messages behind it. Considering it's a children's book, aimed for children, this was useful for 25 year old me! Lovely read, really perked me up. |

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. |

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! |

Dewdrop is so sweet and heartwarming! I love all of Katie O'Neill's comics and her beautiful art and Dewdrops fits right in with the rest. Dewdrop is a short story which seems to be aimed at a younger audience (nothing wrong with that! I love it anyway) about Dewdrops and their friends getting ready for a Sports Fair. Everyone faces doubts and insecurities but Dewdrop with their endless positivity and kindness helps everyone strive to do their best and overcome their negativity! Highly recommend Dewdrops for it's adorable art and story and especially for Dewdrop who us the cutest! |

I love Katie O'Neill's work as an illustrator and graphic novelist, and "Dewdrop" only made me cherish her even more. This story follows an adorable axolotl, Dewdrop, and her friends as they prepare for and compete in their pond's festive sports fair. Dewdrop's friends are clearly passionate about their own unique talents and interests but eventually begin struggling with feelings of self-doubt and insecurity as they assess the competition. Sound familiar? After noticing her friends' behavior, Dewdrop comes along and reminds them of what really matters. "Dewdrop" is an uplifting and encouraging story for readers of all ages. I can't wait to purchase my own copy! |

This is one of the most beautiful picture books I've read in a long time. The illustrations and the colour palette are very pleasant to look at and I really like that the author chose axolotl as the protagonist, it's such an interesting animal. On top of that, the story itself makes perfect sense and has a great message. It's better to try your best rather than compare yourself to others, help each other and be yourself. I think that every kid would love this, it's colourful, cute and has an enjoyable storyline. I mean... an axolotl who is also a cheerleader, come on! And to be completely honest, even adults would enjoy these illustrations, they're adorable. I definitely want to check out other works by Katie O’Neill, even though I’m 22 years old and without kids. They're just so cute. An arc was kindly provided to me by the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. |

I know this is a children book, but at this point I would read literally anything that Katie O'Neill writes/draws. I just love her stories and her drawing style so much, they are always so cute! This story has a lovely axolotl as the main character and it was all so sweet! It talks about how sometimes people can feel self-doubt and how the help of friends can help to overcome it, it's such a good and important message and the execution was brilliant as only Katie O'Neill is able to do. |

Katie O'Neill's books are always adorable and have a wonderful lesson to learn. This is a really short story but every page of cute art is essential. It follows the sweet optimistic Dewdrop as they try and cheer on their friends to do the best they can at a sports festival. Its message deserves to be shared with all ages. Another great book to order! |
