Sage and the Rainy Day

bending when plans change

When rain washes out the outdoor party Sage planned down to the last balloon, Sage insists the day go exactly as imagined — and only ends up soggy, cold, and miserable. Then an easy-going duck named Ripple shares the tale of the mighty Oak and the humble Reed, and the storm that showed which one had the wiser way. Sage bends instead of breaking, moves the party indoors, and builds the coziest pillow fort a rainy day ever saw.

A warm, reassuring picture book about flexibility, adapting to change, and making the best of things, Sage and the Rainy Day is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Oak and the Reed." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
