The Second Grader is simultaneously full of curiosity and mischief, and eager to see human greatness. To meet these longings, we now offer the first 2 books of a 4 book series, with stories of 10 sages and over 100 Trickster Tales between them (5 sages & 50+ trickster tales per book). This series presents the child with a mirror of his boisterous nature, and a chance to see that very curiosity and liveliness transformed into the compassionate action of a sage. To help the child experience his unlimited potential, we have chosen sages who span time, culture, and social activity – from social/political issues, to religion, to the sciences, to the arts.
