This by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Patty Hansen, and Irene Dunlap with short stories by many people like Shaquille O'neal, Roald Dahl, and Chuck Norris. The book helps children to find help to all of life's complicated matters like death, like in tough stuff it talks about abuse and violence and drugs.
To all of these sad stories there are funny ones that make you happy and there are little comic strips every couple of stories mostly from Family Circus for a little giggle. I really enjoyed reading this and I felt a bit more whole when I finished this Book

This book is great! From start to finish the stories of these kids encouraged and inspired me to do my best. To think that kids that young have suffered much brought sadness to my heart. It gave me hope and courage to face tomorrow without doubts, and to see things like a child would; full of innocence, love and hope. When I think about the stories of these kids, I feel like a child again. I regret those times that I haven't enjoyed my childhood that much. The comics on this book made me laugh too.
I highly recommend this book that will surely bring you happiness, courage, hoe and love.

This book is on the border between early elementary and elementary. But in this day and age our children need to be exposed to the situations much earlier. This is like a self help book for children to let them know that they are not the only ones to go through hardships at their young age.
Feeling sad? Happy? Going through a hard time in your life? Chicken soup for the kids soul is the perfect remedy for a cold in the soul!!!
