Using the simple metaphor of a bucket and a dipper, the author illustrates that kindness can not only fill the buckets of those around us, but can fill our own buckets as well. Conversely, when we do or say mean things, we dip into the buckets of others. This book – which is a great resource for kids, parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone who wishes to teach empathy to young ones – shows children that being a “bucket-filler” helps make the world a better place for all of us.
