The Fifth Collection

Sage's Truest Friend

the friend who stays

Walking home through the woods at dusk, Sage and a friend meet something big and scary — and the friend bolts up a tree, leaving Sage all alone below. A gentle deer named Rowan shares the tale of the two travelers and the bear, and what it truly means to be a friend. Sage learns the truest lesson of all: to be the one who stays — a heartfelt close to Sage's adventures.

A warm, heartfelt picture book about true friendship, loyalty, and standing by the people we love, Sage's Truest Friend is a modern story inspired by the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables — here, "The Two Travelers and the Bear." Perfect for reading aloud with children aged 3–8.
