Goodreads Synopsis:
From the author of The Tea Dragon Society comes Dewdrop, the delightful children's tale of an adorable axolotl who cheers on his underwater friends as they each bring their talents to the pond's sports fair!
Dewdrop is an easygoing, gentle axolotl who enjoys naps, worm pie, and cheerleading. When the yearly sports fair nears, he and his friends—Mia the weightlifting turtle, Newman the musical newt, and three minnows who love to cook—get ready to showcase their skills to the whole pond! However, as the day of the fair gets closer, Dewdrop's friends can't help putting pressure on themselves to be the best. It's up to Dewdrop to remind them how to be mindful, go at their own pace, and find joy in their own achievements.
Review:
Dewdrop is an axolotl who is here to help! He wants to help his friends do their very best at the sports fair and he is able to so well with his kindness and encouragement.
This is such a cute book, the illustrations are so pretty and bright and the overall concept and story are great as well. The author does a wonderful job pulling it all together to make a book that will be both fun and educational for young readers. In the story they will learn about helping, even when you are trying to prepare as well, about how to only try to go better than yourself - because that is always an improvement, and that you shouldn't get discouraged. It also notes that pausing can help you come to the thoughts you were looking for. All of these are great lessons for kid readers and some adults as well and I think that this book would be a great one for your collections.
