The Invisible Bag—originally published 25 years ago—has re-emerged as a timeless children’s classic after winning three Eric Hoffer Book Awards in May 2025. Written by Melanie Sola r Theel and illustrated by Holly Stone-Barker, this beautifully crafted story follows four-year-old Jennifer as she struggles with the transition to daycare after her mother begins a new job. With the help of her magical “invisible bag of choices,” Jennifer learns how to manage big emotions, build confidence, and navigate separation with courage. Perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors, The Invisible Bag remains an empowering resource for guiding young children through change—proving its enduring relevance a quarter-century after its debut.
