Chicken Soup is a series of books that gives people support and encouragement. There are Chicken Soup recipes for teenagers, women, mothers, Christians, couples and even pet lovers. The one I am going to recommend is for KIDS. Inside, there are one hundred and one stories. They look plain, but in every single story, you will find something. What is that "something"? A guiding hand. It will encourage you, support you, enlighten you and teach you how to solve problems.

I have learnt many valuable lessons from this book. The stories in the forms of essay, poem or comic, are based on eleven topics. They are Love, Friendship, Family Attitude, Perspective, Death, Achieving Dreams, Overcoming obstacles, Choices, Tough Stuff and Eclectic Wisdom. These stories are a reliable source of support. I came across difficulties in my everyday life. I did not know how to handle them before, but with this book in hand, I find answers to my questions. Most of the stories are written by kids who feel the same way as I do. We have the same experiences, but we may solve the problems differently. However, there is only one principle underlying all of our solutions. This is the principle of exercising good common sense. There are also stories written by adults. Adults know more than we do. They walk the path of life a step ahead of us, and their achievement and mistakes are our guiding light.
