The recipe for each “Chicken Soup for the Soul” is to select the most amazing, dramatic and wise stories from the many letters from readers and, while maintaining the author’s style, group them by topic. The heroes and authors of this collection are children. Someone gets into a difficult situation and learns what true friendship is. Someone shows compassion and courage and stands up for the weak. Someone understands that being different from others is not always a bad thing, and learns to find their place in this world. Read and discuss with a child aged 6-12.
