The Backpack We Carry

The Backpack We Carry is a heartfelt story that helps children (and the adults who love them) understand the invisible “backpack” we all carry filled with our feelings, experiences, and sometimes, heavy worries. Through gentle words and imagery, this book explores how trauma and difficult emotions can weigh us down, even when others can’t see them. It also offers hope, showing that with support, kindness, and healing, we can begin to unpack the heavy items and fill our backpack with tools of strength, love, and resilience. A parent guide is included at the end of the book to assist caregivers in these tough moments.  A meaningful resource for families, educators, and therapists to spark conversations about feelings and healing.
