Fovosakos is a tale for readers aged 7 to 100 about the fears we hide, and the weight they quietly gain. We tuck them into our colorful “backpacks,” waiting for the day we’ll be brave enough to face them, only to realize that day doesn’t always come on its own. And while we wait, the backpack grows heavier, harder to carry, until the seams begin to strain.

A story about what happens when what we carry starts to carry us, inviting us to name our fear, look inside with courage, and lighten the load before it tears us apart.
