Backpacks & Baguettes is part narrative, part graffiti and street art that Sam (13) has encountered on his travels around the world -- graffiti, because it's better than any postcard for getting to know a place. The book and the podcast are a reminder of what it was like to be in the world before the pandemic hit - the sound of mopeds in Vietnam, the smell of chicken turning on a spit at a French market, a water fight in Bangkok, mushroom hunting in the hills of Tuscany, the feel of fog on your face in San Francisco bay – human contact.
