The Fifth Collection

Sage's Fair Share

taking a fair share

Told to take a handful of treats from the jar, Sage grabs the biggest, greediest fistful possible — and gets stuck fast, unable to pull it back out. Then a round-cheeked chipmunk named Chester tells the story of the autumn he crammed his own cheeks so full of nuts that he couldn't squeeze back out of his hollow tree — and the easy little magic of taking just enough. Sage lets a few go, slips free at once, and discovers there's plenty to share when nobody grabs it all.

A warm, funny picture book about moderation, self-control, and a fair share for everyone, Sage's Fair Share is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Boy and the Nuts." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
