Everyone deserves their own Chicken Soup for the Soul! And that’s why we have teamed up with an amazing children’s publisher, Charlesbridge, to create entertaining books for babies/toddlers and preschoolers. Our own grandchildren love these books, which impart life lessons through stories about the adventures of some very relatable baby animals.
