The Invisible String Backpack (The Invisible String, 6)

The Invisible String Backpack is a story in the Invisible String series. These books help kids to feel safe and comfortable when they have to place and do things away from their parents or loved ones. This story is about a little girl named Mila getting ready for her first day of school—she’s nervous and excited. Her mom tells her about her invisible backpack that contains items to help her feel better at school. Mila learns she has her invisible string, mirror, microphone, shield, sword, armor, whistle, flashlight, and photo. These things help Mila be herself around others more quickly and happily until she gets home to tell her parents about the fun she had.

I can see this story helping many kids who get nervous about doing new things. It is hard to do something new for the first time, but if kids know that something will connect them with their parents or loved ones, it makes it easier for them. I enjoyed looking at the pictures because they are full of colors and there is so much to see on each page. The story is easy to understand by kids of any age.
