Synopsis
..". the book takes us back to the very personal world of the child, powerfully reminding us that the emotional needs of children everywhere are the same. The beautiful and joyful illustrations by Penny Weber gently reinforce the message that we humans are diverse in many ways but our buckets--which represent our need for unconditional love and emotional security--are all the same... the act of filling others' buckets helps to fill our own buckets, is... explored in other books in the Bucket Filling series." --Beverley Paine, blogger on The Educating Parent
