The Invisible Backpack: BY: Ashley Matias
Discover the power of kindness in this heartwarming and beautifully illustrated children's book about understanding the hidden struggles of those we love.
Ashley looks like any other mom. She loves the sunshine, chasing butterflies, and playing outside with her two daughters, Bella and Natalie. But Ashley is carrying something special-something most people cannot see. She carries an invisible backpack.
Some mornings, the backpack feels heavy. It makes her legs feel slow and her head feel foggy. Through the curious eyes of her daughters, young readers will learn that everyone carries their own invisible weights-whether it's a chronic illness, a tough day, or a hidden worry.
But as Bella and Natalie soon discover, there is a secret to making those backpacks feel a little lighter: Love.
Why parents and teachers love The Invisible Backpack:

"Because sometimes, the strongest people carry what others cannot see."
