From toothpaste in his brother's shoes to a food fight in the school cafeteria, one youngster blames all of the day's misadventures on his backpack. In fact, his shenanigans get him in trouble with the principal and his dad.

But the night sky and its constellations humble him; Baby Molly inspires him; and he begins to see the beauty and joy of each day.

A picture book for children, My Backpack Got Me in Trouble Today shares a story that teaches an important lesson about life in a light-hearted way.
