Another cute story from Katie O'Neill that shows that we should keep believing in ourselves and others, to support our friends, and to do the activities that make us happy.

Dewdrop is a precious, beautiful book, just as I would expect from Katie O'Neill. The art is adorable, bright, and endearing. This is a tiny tale of friendship, featuring a small creature who inspires its friends in the face of their doubts about being good enough. Highly recommended for all children's collections.

We received an ARC from the publisher at work and I've liked Katie O'Neill's other graphic novels (Princess Princess Ever After, The Tea Dragon Society, etc.) so I thought I'd take a look. This is aimed much younger than O'Neill's previous books -- really more a picture book than a graphic novel -- so definitely keep that in mind when selecting/gifting the book, but it still has her trademark pastel colors and it's a cute little story about encouraging your friends and doing your best rather than getting caught up in other people's opinions.

Dewdrop is an adorable axolotl that is as sweet as can be. She and her pond pals are preparing for the sports fair, but her friends are more than a little nervous about their abilities with the roles they've taken. With Dewdrop's encouragement, they realize that the most important thing to do on their special day is to be proud of themselves. This book is a gentle and wonderful piece of art that highlights the importance of believing in both your friends and yourself!

OH, MY GODDESS.
This new story was equally beautiful and heartwarming! To read during the holidays was the best decision because I was really feeling down thanks to y family and this made my day!
Of course, the style was phenomenal as usual and I cannot wait to read something more by her.

(I will update with review link closer to publication)

This is absolutely precious!! Katie O'Neill's art style is as stunning as always, and works perfectly for this age range. The story was simple yet meaningful - perfection!

Dewdrop is an endearing story about working hard for yourself and being proud of the work you do. I didn't really know what to expect, but the story is sweet, simple, short, and absolutely perfect. The illustrations are beautiful, as are all of Katie O'Neill's illustrations. I absolutely loved this story and cannot wait to buy it for all of my nieces and nephews.

AHHHH! This was so cute and had such good messages! I love Katie O'Neill's art style and I'm so happy to have gotten an ARC of Dewdrop. I can't wait to see what else she creates in the future!

Katie O'Neill's art style is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen.
The Story of Dewdrop is one of doing your very best and supporting your friends and it is easy and cute and just what I would love to read to my niece.

Cant recommend enough for those with young ones who love picture books and those soft and sweet stories about acceptance.

I LOVED this so much. This little picture book was absolutely adorable and the messages it sends are so lovely! The artwork was so cute.

Everything about this, from the artwork to the friendship and message of just trusting yourself and doing the best you can, just absolutely made my day and filled my heart up with so much joy.

5/5 ⭐️

So cute!

Dewdrop is an adorable picture book from Katie O’Neill that lets young readers know that you can only please yourself. Coupled with it’s cute art style, Dewdrop communicates its sweet message in an easy to understand and entertaining story.

Returning again with her distinct art style, O’Neill wows readers with a beautifully panelled and paced story that will have you falling in love with the cute axolotl, Dewdrop. Far simpler than her previous work, Dewdrop is a short and sweet picture book

O’Neill tackles harder to understand concepts in a friendly manner, presenting readers with characters who are stressing too much, placing too much pressure on themselves, or experiencing self doubt. Dewdrop the carefree axolotl cheers the characters on, letting them know that through self confidence, trusting yourself, and going at your own pace, you can achieve what your goals.

I mean, look at the cute panel below. How could you not fall in love with Dewdrop, or O’Neill’s art style?!

RECOMMENDATION
I will always recommend Katie O’Neill because her work is not only cute and endearing but it has a beautifully subtle way of sharing its message.

Please note: I received a copy of Dewdrop from NetGalley.

Dewdrop is Katie O'Neill's middle grade little graphic novel about an axolotl and their friends who prepare for a sport festival. It is amazing how Katie O'Neill manages to have such important themes is such a small amount of pages. Even as an adult, it was still nice to be reminded that you don't have to be the best one there is,you just have to be better than you were before and the only person you should compete with is yourself. And of course the cute and colorful art style made this book even more adorable. This would definitely be enjoyable for little kids and adults.
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute short read! The art style is amazing and soso cute. This graphic novel is so happy and has such an amazing message. If I knew some children I wouldn't hesitate to buy them this! Amazing!!!

A gorgeous, beautiful tale with a great message and an adorable, admirable main character. I do wish there had been a little more text though.

This was an amazing little story with a lovely message and incredible art. If I had small children in my life I wouldn't hesitate to buy this so I could read this to them!

A cute little story that I think would be enjoyable for any child with its adorable, colorful art style and wildly positively messages. My only complaint would be that I felt it lacked dialogue, so sometimes it was easy to get a bit lost only going off the drawings, and I assume that would be the same for children. Maybe not to the same level, but even a little bit of additional dialogue/narration/backstory would have helped in understanding and made this a full five stars for me.

But this is just so adorable and heart-wrenching positive, I would love to gift it to any 5-6 year olds to read and enjoy. I think this would do better in a series, too! I would love to see an eventual series of Dewdrop and his friends dealing with certain scenarios while getting more information on them and their lives.

This is a very cute short story! The illustrations go well in helping the story along. Very good for younger readers.

Featuring Katie O'Neill's signature adorable characters, Dewdrop teaches us that we can do anything we put our hearts too, and to never give up. Dewdrop and friends are having a sports fair, but they are having trouble with their confidence. Dewdrop reminds them that all they need to do is believe in themselves. It's a sweet story with a great message. Sure to be a hit with the K-2 crowd!

Such a cute children's book, with lovely illustrations, thank you netgalley for the e- copy. This book has a really important message about just trying your best, being kind to yourself and supporting your friends. I would definitely reccomend this book to others, I am not the age this book was probably intended/marketed for but I still really enjoyed it and loved the message, a book for all ages to enjoy and share with children, nieces, nephews, cousins etc. 4/5⭐
