HOLLEY – David Hull has written another story that is featured in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

The newest book will be released on April 28 and features 101 stories over 320 pages. The book – “I Can’t Stop Laughing” – includes a story by Hull.

In “It’s All Behind Me Now,” Hull shares a story about sitting on an M & M and having it smear on the back of his khaki pants. He had to give a presentation at parent’s night assembly while he was working as a teacher.  He was then invited to a fancy dinner afterwards with members of the school administration.

Hull continues to be a prolific contributor to the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. He has written stories that are featured in about 30 of the books.

Hull is a retired preschool teacher. He grew up in Brockport. Hull has said he checks the Chicken Soup website for future book themes and also gets emails from them about topics. He sends in submissions and said he is accepted about 50 percent of the time.

“If you get rejected you have to try again,” he said in a previous interview.

The most popular Chicken Soup books tend to be humorous ones, and books about pets, Hull said.

Hull studied English in college and earned a degree in education. He worked 28 years as a teacher at the Brockport Child Development Center at Brockport State College.

The Chicken Soup for the Soul series debuted in 1993 and now has published 400 titles and sold more than 100 million copies. The books have been translated into more than 40 languages. For more information on Chicken Soup for the Soul, click here.
