"Just because something comes easily to you, does not mean it has no value. You find it effortless because you love it, and that is why it is your gift"

The Tea Dragon Festival is my favourite book out of the three. As expected, the illustration is to die for; the drawings were so vivid and beautiful it would make you want to be part of the story. The festival also looks joyous and homey, I felt escaped (from reality) just by reading about it.

We get to see Erik and Hesekiel, which are the two familiar characters, reintroduced at different times of their lives here. But we also get to meet new characters; Rinn and Aedhan who were equally wonderful people/creatures. I just wished we get to know more about the history of Aedhan and his ancestors.

Even so, I foremost love that this book incorporated sign language and promote diversity. Silverleaf exemplifies what it means to be a part of a community: people working together in harmony, leveraging one another's skills to aid and support one another. A great book indeed to introduce for children to read.
