Dewdrop is a 40-page illustrated children’s book by Kay O’Neill and it was available for free on my Kindle Unlimited subscription so I didn’t think twice before getting it, since Kay’s works are usually easy to read and almost always cute to look at.
A pop of bright colors and fantastical animals, “Dewdrop” is about a bunch of animals preparing for a sports fair celebration and how Dewdrop the cheery protagonist encourages everyone to have fun and do their best. Dewdrop is an adorable pink creature, who loves to take naps, eat worms and do cheer-leading.
This is a book for 5-9 year olds and is definitely perfect for them, with positive encouraging messages about how kids should try to enjoy what they are doing and not take undue pressure – it’s all about participation. If you are looking to gift a bright uplifting picture book for kids, pick this up. ‘Aquicorn Cove’ by Kay O’Neill however is my favorite title by the author-illustration, which has a very Ghibli-like magic to it, which is twice Dewdrop’s length and absolutely beautiful.
