What if your backpack had a lot to say about your first day of school?

Meet Mia and her magical, overly chatty backpack in this heartwarming rhyming read-aloud that's equal parts funny and reassuring!

The night before her very first day of school, Mia discovers something unexpected—her new backpack can talk! And not just talk... it worries, wonders, and wildly overthinks everything. From lost pencils to snack time disasters, the backpack has plenty of concerns. But as the school day unfolds, both Mia and her nervous new companion begin to realize that maybe—just maybe—there's nothing to worry about after all.
