The Tea Dragon Festival
Rinn, a young cooking apprentice, discovers a sleeping dragon in the forest near her village. The arrival of tea dragon caretakers Greta and Hesekiel connects the mystery to older stories and a community festival. Healing depends on listening to the land and respecting forms of knowledge that cannot be hurried. Gentle and luminous, this graphic fantasy suits a spring afternoon for readers who enjoy village life, food, dragons, and communities strengthened by welcoming both strangers and forgotten traditions.
