Tea Dragon Society by Kay O'Neill

The Tea Dragon Society is a gentle fantasy book about the ways friendship and love can heal trauma. It also teaches the value of traditional crafts like blacksmithing and making tea blends. This fantasy world is populated by various races of humanoid creatures, and also features the mythical tea dragons. These animals, with careful tending and love, produce tea leaves unrivaled by regular tea plants; they also give the drinker access to the tea dragons' memories of their keepers. These keepers are the Tea Dragon Society. 

It is written for grade 4, but it is wonderful for all ages.
