The Fifth Collection

Sage and Everyone's Advice

trusting your own judgment

Painting a picture for the school art show, Sage changes it every single time someone offers an opinion — brown, then spotted, then purple — until the whole thing is a muddy, mixed-up mess. Then a patient donkey named Biscuit shares the tale of the miller, his son, and the donkey they tried so hard to please everyone with that they lost it altogether. Sage learns to listen kindly, but to keep the last word.

A warm, funny picture book about trusting your own judgment, confidence, and knowing you can't please everyone, Sage and Everyone's Advice is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Miller, His Son, and the Donkey." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
