REVIEW
. . . The work lays out three rules for readers—children as well as adults—to find happiness in their lives. All three revolve around the author’s concept of people having buckets they can either fill for themselves or others. . . Opportunities to fill buckets abound. As McCloud points out, every instance of simple kindness helps to fill buckets. . . An inviting guide for children (and their parents) to cultivating happiness and helping others. – Kirkus Reviews
DESCRIPTION
Through the simple concept of an invisible mental and emotional bucket, Growing Up with a Bucket Full of Happiness gives a very real and profound understanding of why people act as they do. This book teaches the "bucketfilling" language by examining a number of difficult subjects with colorfully-illustrated chapters, thought-provoking questions, and relevant real-life situations.
Readers of all ages will learn and experience, through daily practice, the value of kindness, understanding, resiliency, and courage in a world that isn't always kind.
