Rue has a backpack as big as her dreams-patched, worn, and bursting with possibility. One bright morning, she zips it up, waves goodbye, and sets off to explore the world. From the colourful chaos of India's Holi Festival to the quiet hush of Egypt's golden dunes, Rue collects memories from every place she visits - tucking leaves, postcards, powder, and laughter into her ever-growing red backpack. The Girl Who Carried the World in Her Backpack is a heartwarming, adventure-filled picture book that takes young readers on a vibrant journey across the globe. Through Rue's eyes, we glimpse the beauty, wonder, and wildness of the world - from maple forests in Canada and wild animal safaris in Tanzania to cherry blossoms in Japan and glowing lanterns in Vietnam. Each destination adds a new treasure to Rue's backpack - and a deeper understanding of the world to her heart. Inspired by the author's own 410-day solo journey across the globe, this story celebrates curiosity, courage, and the magic of travel. Perfect for little explorers and dreamers, this book reminds us that the world is wide and waiting - and that every adventure begins with a single step and a backpack full of wonder.

Steger, Sarah: - "Sarah Steger is an Australian journalist, lifelong adventurer, and a big kid at heart. Growing up across four continents, she grew up curious about the world and its many stories. Her 410-day solo backpacking journey across the globe, which she embarked on shortly after turning 30 and quitting her job, is what inspired The Girl Who Carried the World in Her Backpack - her debut children's picture book. Sarah has travelled to more than 70 countries on her own and believes that the best way to explore this magical world is by being brave, curious, and kind. When she's not writing, you'll find her hiking, scuba diving, or reading."
