This illustrated adaptation of the bestseller How Full Is Your Bucket? deftly transforms the lessons of “bucket filling” to a younger audience. When our bucket is full we feel great, but when it’s empty we feel awful. However, most children do not realize the importance of having a “full bucket” throughout the day. Felix wakes up one morning with a strange, invisible bucket floating over his head. He begins to see that everything he says and does affects how full his bucket is. Unkind behavior leads to drips from the bucket. Acts of kindness helps fill his bucket. He also discovers that his actions affect the buckets of those around him - his classmates, teachers, and family members. Will he be able to fill his bucket? How will his actions affect everyone else’s buckets? Make talking about emotions easy. Kids will learn in a fun, engaging way how their words and actions can affect others. With just one kind word or action, they can transform someone’s attitude and outlook for the day.
