Oliver is an artist, Mia a skateboarder, Sophie a pet whisperer, and Lucas a jokester. In their collective imagination, they turn those talents into superpowers to save the neighborhood. And Tommy? He seems to be too young to have a supertalent. But when a chain reaction of problems occurs, Tommy’s superpower—kindness—shines. Encouraged by Tommy’s success, the five children create the Sunshine Squad to really help the neighborhood. Backmatter includes a tangentially related story and ways to spread sunshine. Readers can see the Sunshine Squad in action in the simultaneously publishing sequel, Sophie and the Tiny Dognapping. When Sophie steals Mia’s dollhouse dog, she experiences all the emotional and physical reactions of a guilty conscience. Although the Sunshine Squad is busy helping their other neighbors, they have time to give Sophie (and young readers) some good advice. In both books, colorful cartoon illustrations with many close-ups on faces capture the struggle of trying to do what is right. The books kick off the Chicken Soup for the Soul Kids series, their mission clear and their good intentions well executed. Slightly pedantic but with ethical situations children will relate to and good kid-to-kid advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-62354-274-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-63289-892-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-05-13T12:26:28-04:00","created_at":"2021-05-13T12:17:11-04:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 3-6","Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Fiction","Browse by Format_Picture Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Life Lessons \u0026 Skills","Browse by Subject_Story Time \u0026 Play"],"price":1299,"price_min":1299,"price_max":1299,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39366751846479,"title":"Hardcover","option1":"Hardcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"42740","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The Sunshine Squad - Hardcover","public_title":"Hardcover","options":["Hardcover"],"price":1299,"weight":369,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":10,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-62354-274-0","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/sunshine-squad-cover.jpg?v=1620922792"],"featured_image":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/sunshine-squad-cover.jpg?v=1620922792","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20541916938319,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"width":600,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/sunshine-squad-cover.jpg?v=1620922792"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/sunshine-squad-cover.jpg?v=1620922792","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: large;\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eThe Sunshine Squad\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"d-\" mce-data-marked=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"d-\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/jamie-white\"\u003eJamie Michalak\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \/ Illustrated by:\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/lorian-tu\"\u003e Lorian Tu\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's your superpower?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThey call themselves the Sunshine Squad: five friends (and one tagalong little brother) who decide to be superheroes.

Encouraged by Tommy’s success, the five children create the Sunshine Squad to really help the neighborhood. Backmatter includes a tangentially related story and ways to spread sunshine. Readers can see the Sunshine Squad in action in the simultaneously publishing sequel, Sophie and the Tiny Dognapping. When Sophie steals Mia’s dollhouse dog, she experiences all the emotional and physical reactions of a guilty conscience. Although the Sunshine Squad is busy helping their other neighbors, they have time to give Sophie (and young readers) some good advice. In both books, colorful cartoon illustrations with many close-ups on faces capture the struggle of trying to do what is right. The books kick off the Chicken Soup for the Soul Kids series, their mission clear and their good intentions well executed. Slightly pedantic but with ethical situations children will relate to and good kid-to-kid advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-62354-274-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-1-63289-892-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 4-7\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e8 x 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e[\/TABS]\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}
