Here, happiness is stored in buckets, is depleted by dippers, and is protected from others by lids. The book opens with a scene in which a parent changes a baby’s diaper. Babies, it says, have to depend on other people to fill their buckets. But as children grow, the responsibility for filling their happiness buckets shifts to them. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eCharacters age across the book, and the situations they face become progressively more challenging. They are shown learning to think of others first, dealing with name-calling and bullying sans retaliation, stopping and thinking before acting, and avoiding comparing themselves to others. The text explains each of the tools and how they are used early on in relation to such challenges. Three sections expand on each tool, forwarding thought-provoking questions, tips, encouragement, and reminders. The engaging, instructional text is also conversational and organized. Short, teachable statements are punctuated by questions related to challenging circumstances, including family issues like sibling rivalries and school issues like bullying. The unnamed cast is multiracial, multiethnic, gender-diverse, and religious. They are drawn in a cartoon style and are surrounded by personified buckets, dippers, and lids. The children are shown learning to use each tool as they are faced with challenging situations. \u003c\/em\u003eBuckets, Dippers, and Lids \u003cem\u003eis a well-constructed, inspirational self-help book for young readers.\u003c\/em\u003e– Anita Lock, Clarion Foreword Book Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis bridge book release in the bestselling Bucket Fillers line takes the concept of bucket filling one step further by adding the idea that we also have an invisible lid.

I love a good rhyming book and so do my grandchildren.

From there 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. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 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.
