Sage LOVES her seven dresses!
There's the princess dress from Grandpa that makes her feel like she's guarding a big castle. The sundress from Grandma that she wears to the beach to build the tallest sandcastles. The bunny dress from Nana that keeps her warm and cozy all winter long. The fancy dress from Papa and Gigi that makes her feel extra fancy for special days. The dancing dress from her cousin that makes her feel cool just like her older cousin. The mountain bike dress from her dad that she wears when she zooms through the trails. And her favorite dress from Mom, perfect for snowboarding down snowy hills.
During the day, Sage wears her dresses on adventures big and small. But at night, when the world feels quiet and still, she puts on each dress and thinks of the family members who gave it to her.
Full of fun and heart, Sage and Her Seven Dresses is a sweet story about love, family, and the magic of family.
