OVERVIEW
Isaiah has a hard time getting to sleep at night; worries of all kinds seem to plague him. But his mother helps him to picture each of his worries as a block that he could stiff into his backpack. Thus it becomes his worry backpack and he imagines hiking through the woods in great relief as he trusts Jesus with his cares.
Today’s children are growing up in an anxious world. This book reminds them that God is on their side and that their friend Jesus will help them with everything that causes them to worry.
