The Backpack With Room for Love

About the book

Some feelings are too big to fit in a backpack. Nora’s blue backpack holds pajamas, a library book, and her favorite stuffed rabbit, Button. But when her parents divorce, Nora has questions she doesn’t know how to carry. Through honest conversations, small prayers, and caring grown-ups, Nora learns that the divorce is not her fault—and it is not her job to fix it. She can love both parents, ask for comfort, and feel happy and sad on the same day. The Backpack With Room for Love by Minnie Warren is an illustrated Christian story for ages 5–9 about divorce, changing homes, and the love children do not have to earn. It includes a prayer, conversation starters, and guidance for caring adults. A gentle read-together story for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and faith communities looking for a way to listen to children’s questions and offer reassurance.
