The Third Collection
Sage and the Golden Eggs
worth waiting for
Sage has a wonderful job: caring for a neighbor's remarkable hen, Goldie, who lays one shining golden egg every single morning. But one a day soon feels far too slow, and Sage's grabbing and rushing to get them all at once nearly spoils the whole magical thing. Then Goldie shares a gentle tale of a greedy family who simply couldn't wait — and lost their golden gift entirely. Sage learns to slow down, and the daily egg becomes something truly wonderful to look forward to.
A warm, gentle picture book about patience, gratitude, and the best things coming one at a time, Sage and the Golden Eggs is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Goose and the Golden Eggs" (told gently, with a hen, and no harm done). Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
