Sage is vacationing in Ecuador, and she is not happy about it. The travel is slow, the jungle is full of bugs and birds and mud, and there's no TV. But worst of all, she will have to spend her birthday in this strange place, far from all her friends. It's about to be the worst birthday Sage has ever had ... or will it? One Joyful Adventure at a Time acknowledges the difficulties that children often have with new experiences while encouraging them to look for the positive in every moment.
