The Tea Dragon Society By K. O'Neill, K. O'Neill (Illustrator) Cover Image

The Tea Dragon Society (Paperback)

By K. O'Neill, K. O'Neill (Illustrator)
$9.99

This book is peace. This book is quiet love. This book is flowers in bloom. This book is a TREASURE. The story of Tea Dragons, small dragons that grow tea leaves from their horns, and their caretakers, a task that takes deep love and dedication, and an art form that needs to be passed on by someone who feels love deep in their heart.... You cannot help but fall head over heels for Katie O'Neill's stunning story and beautiful artwork!! Her work takes me to a safe and beautiful place every time I read it. Truly a treasure of a book.
