Kaleb has a special backpack that he carries with him everywhere, but it’s not filled with books or toys-it’s filled with his emotions. From happiness and excitement to frustration and sadness, Kaleb’s backpack can feel heavy, especially when his feelings become overwhelming.

In this heartwarming and thoughtful story, Kaleb learns that it’s okay to feel all sorts of emotions, and that he doesn’t have to carry them alone. With the help of his friends and a little guidance, Kaleb discovers how to ＂unload＂ his emotions in healthy, constructive ways. By talking about his feelings, expressing himself, and asking for help when needed, Kaleb finds that he can carry the weight of his emotions with more ease and confidence.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, Kaleb’s Backpack offers a gentle and relatable way to teach emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the importance of emotional expression. With vibrant illustrations and an engaging narrative, this book helps young readers understand that while emotions may feel heavy at times, they are something we can manage and talk about-just like carrying a backpack.
