Though this is technically a picture book for kids, this is absolutely precious!

This follows Dewdrop, an axolotl, which is an equally adorable water creature in real life and how this ray of sunshine brings so much good cheer to his friends to be the best versions of themselves.

Too cute for words, this brought a smile to my face for this super sweet simple feels! ( )

On one hand, the story is sweet, basic and not super original. On the other hand, it's about a PINK AXOLOTL literally cheerleading his friends through their problems so how could anyone call this unoriginal? My 5yo thought it was cute because it is. ( )

I love everything by Kay O’Neill so much ( )

I had to read this book as soon as I saw the cover because I saw it had an Axylotl on it and my students are obsessed with those. It's also a graphic novel type of picture book which I thought was really cool. This book is funny, entertaining, cute, and includes a character that looks similar to a ninja turtle (that's a plus in my book). I just know my students would go absolutely crazy over this book if they got their hands on it.
