The Second Collection

Sage Takes the Stage

finding your voice

Sage has a quiet gift: Sage loves to sing. But at the Maple Street Talent Show, next to dazzling cartwheels and shiny juggling, Sage's gentle song suddenly feels far too small and plain — until a modest little cardinal named Ruby shares how she once out-shone a boastful peacock with nothing but her voice. Flashy, it turns out, isn't the only kind of special.

A warm, uplifting picture book about confidence, self-belief, and finding your own voice, Sage Takes the Stage is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Peacock and the Crane." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
