The Tea Dragon Tapestry

The Tea Dragon Tapestry (the Tea Dragon Series book 3) 
Written and illustrated by: K. O'Neill
137 pages
Release date: June 2, 2021
My review: 4 out of 5 stars 

Join Greta and Minette once more for the heartwarming conclusion of the award-winning Tea Dragon series!

Over a year since being entrusted with Ginseng's care, Greta still can't chase away the cloud of mourning that hangs over the timid Tea Dragon. As she struggles to create something spectacular enough to impress a master blacksmith in search of an apprentice, she questions the true meaning of crafting, and the true meaning of caring for someone in grief. Meanwhile, Minette receives a surprise package from the monastery where she was once training to be a prophetess. Thrown into confusion about her path in life, the shy and reserved Minette finds that the more she opens her heart to others, the more clearly she can see what was always inside.

Told with the same care and charm as the previous installments of the Tea Dragon series, The Tea Dragon Tapestry welcomes old friends and new into a heartfelt story of purpose, love, and growth.

In this continuation of the Tea Dragon graphic novel series, Greta is still trying to coax Ginseng out of her grief. At the same time, she is working on a blacksmithing project worthy of being asked to be an apprentice blacksmith. This really did hit me in the feels and the beautiful artwork just brings the story to life. I love this quote by Greta's mom "When someone is grieving, the best thing you can do is let them heal on their own and show them that you'll be there for them." It is just such a true sentiment. <3
