Kid Power in Action!

Kids wanted a Chicken Soup book of their own, so here it is! Children Soup for the Kid’s Soul is for kids ages nine through thirteen, and it’s “all that!”

       Sometimes you feel like life is a complete blast（沖擊）, from scoring the winning goal to hanging out with your friends. Yet other times, life is too difficult: You seem to see violence（暴力） everywhere you turn, more parents are getting divorced（離婚）, your best friend moves away, or you feel like you don’t fit in.

Now there is a place to find answers and encouragement and to help you realize that your dreams really can come true.

With funny stories about friendship and family, and serious stories about brave kids and difficult choices, this book will make you laugh, cry, think, and feel good about yourself.

Ever since the first Chicken Soup for the Soul was published in June 1993, we have been getting requests（請求） from kids all over the world asking for a Chicken Soup book just for them. So here it is, the first full-length Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul, written by kids and by grown-ups who haven’t forgotten what it’s like to be a kid.

We would like to know how the stories in the book will affect you and which ones are your favorites, please write to us and let us know. We also invite you to send us any stories that you would like us to consider for the second book: Helping of Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul.
