Description
Tea is a plant. Tea is a ceremony. But most of all, tea is love. Whether it's part of an elaborate ceremony, or a quiet cup brewed for one, tea holds a special place in the hearts of millions. This poignant, lovely picture book celebrates the practice of tea-drinking across various cultures and countries, and meditates on the many meaning the ritual holds.
About the Author
Adib Khorram lives in Kansas City, Missouri. When he isn't writing, you can probably find him trying to get his hundred-yard freestyle under a minute, learning to do a Lutz jump, or steeping a cup of oolong.

Morris Debut Award, the Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature, and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor. He is also the author of Darius the Great Deserves Better, Kiss and Tell, and the picture book Seven Special Somethings: A Nowruz Story.
Hanna Cha, Caldecott honor- and APALA winning-illustrator of The Truth About Dragons, is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. She spent her childhood in both Korea and America and currently lives in Boston, where she loves crinkling her nose in the early morning breeze and snuggling her tiger-like cat, Hobac.
