About The Book

Parents will love these inspirational, humorous, and heartwarming stories about the hardest and most rewarding job in the world — parenthood!

This upbeat and compelling book includes the best selections on parenting from Chicken Soup’s rich history, with 101 stories carefully selected to appeal to both mothers and fathers. This is a great book for couples to share, whether they are just embarking on their new adventure as parents or reflecting on their lifetime experience.

Stories were written by parents about their children and by children about their parents. A whole chapter on adoptive and foster parents is included. There is a common thread of caring, humor, hard work, and the joy of being a parent. Older parents will laugh, cry, and nod their heads as they recognize shared experiences shaping young lives. New parents will smile as they read about the adventures yet to come.
