{Have You Filled a Bucket Today? Read-aloud by Carol McCloud}

Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids By Carol McCloud Illustrated by David Messing https://cardinalrulepress.com/product... This best-selling, award-winning picture book introduces readers to the idea that we all have the power to fill our own buckets, and the buckets of those around us. Every day, we are either filling up buckets or dipping into each other's buckets, depending on what we say and what we do. When we are bucket fillers, we make the world a better place and we grow into the best versions of ourselves. Using the simple metaphors of bucketfilling and bucket dipping, this book teaches the importance of developing positive character traits, the value of acting in socially responsible ways, and the impact that our actions have. The book also shows ways that we can be bucket fillers, and why kindness and respect matter.
