Hereditary diseases & disorders; Coping with illness
The Invisible Backpack is a gentle and compassionate story about a young boy whose father is living with Huntington's disease. When Jaxon starts noticing changes in his dad, sad expressions, clumsy moments, or forgetfulness, he begins to wonder if it's somehow his fault. But with his mom's loving guidance, Jaxon learns that his dad has a genetic condition that affects the brain, and most importantly, that it is not Jaxon's fault. As Jaxon grows, he begins to understand not just his dad's illness, but a bigger truth: everyone is carrying something, even if we can't see it. Through this discovery, Jaxon finds the power of kindness, understanding, and unconditional love. With warm illustrations and a hopeful message, this book helps children understand difficult realities like chronic illness while encouraging empathy for others, reminding readers that we all have invisible backpacks, and kindness makes them lighter.
