Description: A tender, magical story for children ages 4–7 about first-day-of-school jitters, finding courage in the unknown, and the gentle power of love tucked into everyday things.
On his very first day of school, Jacob’s mama gives him something special: a forest-green backpack with golden stitching—and a secret. This backpack can whisper, guide, and comfort, helping Jacob discover that bravery comes in quiet, unexpected ways.
With each lesson—from finding his classroom to making new friends—Jacob learns that even the smallest objects can carry love, kindness, and courage.
Perfect for bedtime reading or classroom story time, Jacob and the Backpack That Knew the Way will reassure little ones that they, too, carry everything they need to be brave—right inside their hearts.
