An ode to backpacks and the comfort, joy, and utility they bring to our lives

A young girl explains how it’s a very nice thing to wear a backpack. Even when it’s too full of stuff to carry comfortably, or too small to fit all she wants, she still loves her backpack. To her, it’s a symbol of travel. When she has her backpack, it means she’s going somewhere—which is so much better than staying still!

Backpackscan be filled with good memories, like family photos, or bad memories, like a beloved stuffed animal accidentally dropped in a puddle. But even on bad days, a backpack is special, and you can always count on it. Backpacks can be called book bags, rucksacks, or knapsacks, and they come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. There’s no wrong way to wear a backpack. It’s its own form of self-expression.

This relatable and universal story shows how backpacksare a home you can always carry with you, while connecting them to real-life milestones like starting kindergarten, back-to-school, and going on new adventures.
