This best-selling, award-winning, 32-page picture book has become a basic teaching tool that encourages positive behaviour as children see how very easy and rewarding it is to express kindness, appreciation, and love on a daily basis. Through sweet, simple prose and vivid illustrations, children learn the meaning of the terms bucket filling and bucket dipping, and discover that when they fill someone’s bucket, they fill their own.
