The Fifth Collection

Sage Stays True

standing by your friends

When Sage's two groups of friends fall out, Sage tries to please both by agreeing with whoever's nearest — telling one thing over here and the opposite over there — until neither side knows where Sage truly stands. Then a little bat named Echo shares the tale of how he once played both sides in the great war of the birds and the beasts, and ended up belonging to none. Sage learns to be the same, honest self to everyone.

A warm picture book about honesty, loyalty, and staying true, Sage Stays True is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Bat, the Birds, and the Beasts." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
