I feel as if I know Sage Tyrtle because I’ve listened to her stories. From the first line you know that you’re about to be taken somewhere else. Sage asks us to go there with her; we can’t help but come along for the ride. She doesn’t try to be funny or profound or humble, but she finds those moments in her stories and delivers them with grace.” – Emma Woolley, storyteller
