Book Synopsis

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.
