ABOUT CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL KIDS: THE SUNSHINE SQUAD Chicken Soup for the Soul Kids imparts good values through heartwarming and humourous stories to help kids put their best foot forward. They call themselves the Sunshine Squad: five friends (and one tagalong little brother) who decide to be superheroes. They have courage, capes, and even a secret clubhouse. They all have their own kind of superpower too. Oliver is a genius at drawing comics. Mia is a star athlete. Lilly creates amazing inventions. Lucas is a master of practical jokes. Sophie is an animal expert. And Tommy, well, he’s still figuring out what his strength is. Maybe he doesn’t belong in the squad at all. But throughout the day, Tommy helps his 123 Sunshine Street neighbors in different ways. And he learns that caring about others might be the best superpower of all.
