N2  - The concept of bucket filling is an effective metaphor for encouraging kind and considerate behavior and for teaching the benefits of positive relationships. Everyone has an invisible bucket which holds good thoughts and good feelings about the owner: it represents their mental and emotional health. Being thoughtful and kind adds to other people's buckets, while being hurtful and disrespectful empties it. The story shows how their positive and negative behaviours also impact on the child's own bucket. The Introduction by the author suggests ideas for reading the book with a child to encourage self-worth and respect for others. The bright illustrations feature a diverse range of individuals. Colour picturebook with short text.

Audience: Child 4 - 9, Adult, Adult caregiver
