Chicken Soup for the Soul Kids: The Sunshine Squad: A Book about Kindness by Jamie White, Lorian Tu

4.0

4.33 stars

Five friends who are neighbours go on daily adventures and form their sunshine squad - secret clubhouse and all! Each has their own superpower: Oliver is a fantastic artist. Mia is athletic. Lilly is an innovative scientist. Lucas is the jokester of the group. Sophie knows everything about animals. And Tommy is the baby of the group who is still figuring out what his power is. Throughout the day, he will find how special he is!

I love that both the story by Jamie White and illustrations by LorianTu are inclusive and diverse. The book's overall message is to empower the differences and that we are all unique. We should celebrate differences because together, we are even more powerful.

I love this book's message. We often forget how our kindness IS a superpower and that through empathy, we can help others in more ways than we anticipate. I can see using this book to start a discussion on kindness and creating a social studies project.


Disclaimer: I first read it as an ARC. In exchange for an honest review, I am thankful to Jamie White, Charlesbridge and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul KIDS: The Sunshine Squad.
