A new day of school, and a new backpack! Something hip and cool. A place for books, a place to clip a lunchbox, a perfect turquoise hue.
 
The backpack that had it all...but is that what really counts? 
 
With Barry's rhyming structure and colorful art from illustrator Klaudia Bezak, The Backpack offers a lesson on caring, friendship, and understanding that it's what's inside that makes us all important.
