READING IS THE KEY TO LEARNING
Reading is fundamental is a wise old saying. Scientists, sociologists, and educators all agree that reading is critical to a child’s growth and a child’s success. Reading is the key to learning both in school and in life. Reading is necessary throughout life, whether it be reading a book, reading the words on a test, reading a recipe, a traffic sign, or a job application -- the ability to read is a necessity, and the better a child knows how to read, the more self-confidence s/he will have in school and in life.
Sometimes, however, it’s hard to get children to read books.

“We read Sage’s story – my son Kip was so interested that we read the entire book out loud today!It was cute hearing him explain to his father later on about Sage’s blindness. The book really made an impact on our 4-year-old!” Deb Nieuwenhuis – Baraboo, WI
I enjoyed reading Sage’s Big Adventure: Living with Blindness. Sage has a very positive and endearing personality and strives to overcome. Sage and the couple adopting her create a very positive success story. This book would be very encouraging to parents and grandparents of children with disabilities, as well as to the children!

THERE ARE VALUABLE LIFE LESSONS IN THIS BOOK!
As much as we all want to protect children, we know that youngsters experience a lot of tough issues in life. Physical disabilities, bullying in school, divorce, “being different” – these situations can affect a child’s self-esteem, emotional growth, and attitude in life. Sage’s Big Adventure speaks to many of these circumstances. Sage is blind (disability); she is “different” from “normal” dogs; she is adopted by a new family and goes to live with them (change). She has trouble adjusting to the changes in her life at first, but, by the end of the book Sage has overcome her many challenges and settles in with her new family. Sage teaches children how to adapt to change, face challenges, and overcome obstacles. Because she is a real dog, not a make-believe storybook character, children better relate to the many experiences Sage faces. Oh, and Sage is a dog – kids love stories about dogs, especially “under-dogs”!
Self-esteem, courage, overcoming obstacles, disability awareness – all great life lessons children learn from Sage’s Big Adventure: Living with Blindness.

I LOVE ANIMALS AND WANT TO ENCOURAGE CHILDREN. THAT’S WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK!
I’ve loved animals since I was a child growing up on a farm in Iowa. My parents taught me a strong conservation ethic and a love for pets, that’s why I became an educator for the Bozeman, Montana Humane Society and for the Grizzly Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, Montana. I love to see the baby bison in the springtime and hear the elk bugling in the fall! I’ve always shared my home with a couple of dogs and cats. Sage came to live with me in 2001. Observing her acclimate to a new home while simultaneously going blind inspired and encouraged me. All people, including children, need people and things which inspire them. That’s why I wrote this story – to share my love and respect of pets with children and to encourage them as they face their own challenges in life.

THERE’S EVEN A CHAPTER ABOUT GETTING LOST!
Ever been lost in the woods? Has your grandchild been lost in the mall, the grocery store, the neighborhood, or even the forest? Even if your grandchild has not had the direct experience, perhaps they know someone who has. Everyone fears getting lost. Now, imagine being lost and blind! That happened to Sage and it’s recounted in the book. Children will hold their breath wondering what happens as Sage, blind and lost, wanders through the forest, and they will cheer at the end of the chapter when she is found by her people.
*
CHILDREN ENJOY A HAPPY ENDING!
The final chapter finds Sage at home, lying in the backyard as the sun sets. It’s a time of reflection, for Sage and for the reader, recounting the experiences she’s had. Reflection is a great character trait, for real people and for story characters. Taking stock of one’s life experiences and growing in self confidence and awareness of others is another positive life lesson. This book not has only a happy ending, but also a positive growth element.
“I thoroughly enjoyed Sage’s Big Adventure: Living with Blindness. So many people can relate to Sage’s struggles, adaptations and triumphs. You will only be disappointed in this book if you don’t take the time to read it!” Lexy Harris, Parent and Educator - Casper, WY
