Sage and the Warrior Within

By Elcee Rae

Sage and the Warrior Within
Book Two of The Little Desert Yogi Series

Being brave and being scared can happen at the exact same time.

Six-year-old Sage lives in the Arizona desert with her yoga-loving mom, her best friend Marisol, and her pet tortoise, Om - who remains, as ever, an expert at holding very still. When a bright yellow flyer goes up announcing the school talent show, Sage and Marisol sign up for a yoga demonstration without a second thought. Matching outfits? Check. A big finish? Check. A plan? Well... they have enthusiasm. That counts, right?

But as the big day gets closer, the excitement starts to curdle into something else - a storm of butterflies and what-ifs rolling in the night before the show. That's when Sage's mom shares her secret about Warrior Pose, and about being brave: warriors aren't warriors because they're never scared. They're warriors because they stand tall anyway.

With the same whimsical ink-and-watercolor illustrations, warm humor, and one delightfully unbothered tortoise from Book One, Sage and the Warrior Within is a story about stage fright, friendship, and discovering that the courage you need was inside you the whole time.

Perfect for ages 6-9. Includes a Warrior Pose guide and a calming breathing exercise in the back.
