    This new Chicken Soup for the Soul KIDS picture book is a sunny celebration of friendship, teamwork, and community with the Sunshine Squad.

    Mia's neighbor Mr. Angelo has been under the weather, so he's asked her to take care of his garden for a bit. Mia is sure she doesn't need help, but after hours of weeding in the sun, she realizes that gardens are a lot of work. This is a job for the Sunshine Squad! 

    Soon each Squad member contributes to the garden using their own “superpower" and creativity. As the garden comes together, the friends begin to see how their teamwork can pay off. Is there something special they do for Mr. Angelo? Back matter includes suggestions for how to be a team player and ideas for team projects. 

    Chicken Soup for the Soul KIDS picture books impart good values through heartwarming and humorous stories to help kids put their best foot forward.
    Jamie Michalak is the author of nearly forty books for children, including The Sunshine Squad and Sophie and the Tiny Dognapping from the Chicken Soup for the Soul KIDS series and Everyone Shares (Except Cat) and Everyone Says Please (Except Cat) from the Chicken Soup for the Soul BABIES series. She lives with her family in Rhode Island.

    Jenna Nahyun Chung is a children’s illustrator based in Georgia. She enjoys incorporating both Korean and American culture in her artwork.
