The Second Collection

Sage's Own Size

happy as you are

At the Summer Fair balloon game, Sage blows up a perfectly happy, Sage-sized balloon — until Boastful Bo brags that his is bigger. So Sage puffs, and puffs, and puffs some more, the balloon stretching thinner and thinner. Just in time, a wise old frog named Wade shares what happened the day he tried to puff himself up as big as an ox. Some sizes, it turns out, we were never meant to be.

A warm, funny picture book about contentment, self-acceptance, and not comparing yourself to others, Sage's Own Size is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Ox and the Frog." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
