On Feb. 3, 2024, I went to a youth-oriented comics convention, LumaCon in Petaluma, California. Event highlights, for me, were talking with creators Maia Kobabe, Brian Fies, and Alexis E. Fajardo, as well as a sighting of the BiblioBus: a mobile branch of Sonoma County Library. (One more sticker to affix to our map of Sonoma County Library branches!)<br />

Kay O’Neill’s “Tea Dragon” graphic novels form one of my favorite series in cozy fantasy. The Tea Dragon Festival is second in the series, but earliest in the story timeline. It combines a sweet story with beautiful artwork.<br />
