When the first edition of
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul published in 1997, today’s teenagers weren’t yet born and the book included, among other passages, a poem that referred to “Dear Abby” and Billy Graham as sources of advice in 20¢ newspapers.

August also brings a 20th-anniversary edition of
Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul. Sales of that book doubled in 2020 compared with 2019, says Amy Newmark, publisher and editor-in-chief of Chicken Soup for the Soul, as parents sought titles for their kids to read while home during the pandemic.
