This was absolutely precious. Katie O'Neill's adorable art style lends so well to children's fiction and my heart is soaring. So cute!!!

To be totally fair, it’s not *exactly* a five star for me. But only because I wanted more details and a bit more story out of it. But it’s important to note that this was made for little kids and keeping that in Mind it is one hundred percent perfect for them! Very sweet and simple while still keeping true to O’Neill’s style!
“The only person I need to compete with is myself and try to do better than I did yesterday.”

I love this book so much! I adore everything Katie O'Neill has ever written and this was no exception. I've been so excited for her to release a new picture book and I have a feeling that the cute art, bright colors, and sweet story will be really popular with kids (plus animal main characters are always A++). This was seriously just so precious and I need a copy for my shelves as soon as it comes out just to join my beloved Katie O'Neill collection!

oh my gosh this was absolutely adorable and wholesome! it's completely what you need to read if you're feeling a bit low; if you need a little reminder that giving your personal best is all you can do, that comparing yourself to other people will bring nothing. it's just such a pure story. even just the art style makes this story worth the read.

I was sent this book as an advance copy by the publisher via NetGalley for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own.
Aww this was adorable! It's a children's book about a sports fair where everyone does what they do best, whether it's competing, writing a song, cheerleading or making food for the animals who go to the fair.
As we all do, the characters get a bit discouraged in the process, wondering if they're good enough, but Dewdrop's encouragement helps them find the confidence in t ...more

This was a really cute children's graphic novel with Katie O'Neill's usual very nice illustrations. It focuses on being your own best rather than comparing yourself with others and helping others.
I think it's a very good children's book to be gifted to a child.
Thanks so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. ...more

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!

Each year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books. Dewdrop, written and illustrated by Katie O’Neill of The Tea Dragon Society fame, is book #16 (of 20) of 2020. It’s a book for a somewhat younger crowd. Dewdrop is an axolotl (look it up! Don’t depend on me for your knowledge all the time!) who at the time of the Sports Fair takes the role of encouraging her friends (all different creatures) to do their best, compete only with themselves, please yourself, not others.

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 ev

This little graphic novel about an axolotl is pretty cute. Dewdrop and his friends are excited for the sports fair. But as each gets ready to play their part--whether that's weightlifting, singing, or cooking--they experience doubts about their skills. It isn't until Dewdrop reminds them of what's really important that they find the courage to just do their best.

Dewdrop is an adorably illustrated story about doing your best and encouraging others to do theirs, as well. The bright pictures and simple story will help even the youngest readers remain engaged.

Dewdrop the axolotl is relentlessly positive and helps his friends when they’re feeling disheartened.
The artwork’s cute, and I needed the bright colours and positivity.

A cute and marvelously illustrated book about being kind to others, doing your best and while going it also inspired others to do so. Beautiful, fun and inspiring. Very light and lightfull in every way, but a good one!

Katie O'Neill's art work is phenomenal as always. This graphic novel is intended for a significantly younger audience than her other ones, but it's still very much enjoyable for older readers as well. It's about the power of friendship, being supportive of other people, and believing in yourself, which is a wonderful and necessary message for every age group. This definitely cheered me up. ...more

The illustrations are darling and I love each of the characters' personal revelations. Dewdrop is focused on her routine but she still makes time to help others. Mia learns that she only has to compete with herself and be better than she was before. The minnows learn they can never please everyone so they should cook what makes them happy (I need to remember that for dinner parties). The friends cheer for each other and support each other, even in a competitive environment. Glad my baby ripped t
