".. . 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
A simple question, Will You Fill My Bucket?, is fervently asked by children from twelve different countries. Sweet rhyming prose and vividly captivating illustrations delight the senses and express the deep joy and love we hope for all children. Will You Fill My Bucket? and the responses given will touch the heartstrings of people young and old around the world. Bucket filling, the essence of being loved and loving others, occurs in those little moments in a day when you stop and just listen, cuddle, play, or spend time with a child.

No Matter Where You Are You Can Fill A Bucket...

I am a huge fan of Bucket Filling after finding and reading

Loved the Bucket books, but not a fan of this one

I am a school counselor and I use the "Fill My Bucket" books with students in grades K-5. The other books explain the bucket philosophy and give instructions, ideas, and situations of when to use this method. "Will You Fill My Bucket" is just a poem that has one line on each page. The poem is cute and the pictures are lovely, but it takes about 2 minutes to read, and would only work for very young children. If you are using this to round out your Bucket collection, it may serve its purpose...but it's not what I was expecting. I hoped it would be a multicultural approach to acts of kindness, but the only thing that showed multiculturalism was the pictures.

Gorgeous illustrations and sweet, meaningful story!

I cannot praise the illustrations in this book enough! The illustrations beautifully represent a wide variety of cultures around the world and the attention to detail and color is magnificent. The story is sweet and heart-warming and is sure to leave child and parent feeling like their bucket is full of love and warmth.

Cute for about age 2 and a half to 3 and a half

Very sweet book, but my grand daugher is 2 and not super-verbal yet. This book would appeal to a fairly intuitive and emotionally intelligent 2 and a half year-old with good verbal skills. The info in the book is super important for kids, so I am glad I got it. I also got other "bucket-filling" books and a journal to use with my grandkids.

Beautiful book

Great for teaching kids about kindness

My pre-K kid read this at school and brought home the idea. We liked it so much we ordered the book. It's a useful framework to discuss behavior. When my kid is having a rough moment we'll often say "Is your bucket empty?" or if he's not being kind to another child we say "Are you being a bucket filler?" It's an easy concept that kids quickly grasp. He likes the illustrations and has memorized the simple prose.

great story

love all the fill my bucket books. I use them in my daycare/preschool and it's changed our world.

GRAND-ANGELS ALWAYS CHOOSE BOOKS I READ TO THEM: THIS ONE A FAVORITE!

IN FACT, WE USE THE CONCEPT BY ASKING THE LITTLE ONES: "DID YOU FILL SOMEONE'S BUCKET TODAY"? IN REFERENCING THE USE OF KIND WORDS / GOOD DEEDS / MANNERS -- ALL THOSE GOOD BEHAVIOURS. SUCH A NECESSARY BOOK FOR GRANDPARENTS TO HAVE VISIBLE FOR VISITS!!!

Love around the world

Beautiful display of ways people show others that they love them from all around the world.

diappointed

Was hoping for more mulch-cultural information, not just pictures. Love the bucket filling books. This one could just be expanded with more info regarding various customs.

Very appropriate for grade school-aged students.

My Students loved it!

My students love reading ways to fill their buckets!! Kids are filling their classmates buckets with great compliments and good deeds!

Great addition to my collection!

As a preschool teacher, I have a small collection of bucket books suitable for the age group I work with. And this one fits in perfectly. I highly recommend it for the 3-5 year old age group.

Beautiful metaphor for teaching

This charming book has really taught my preschooler about how his behaviour affects others, in a beautifully simple metaphor. The art is sweet and interesting.

Love it :)

My 1st grade students love this book, and it serves as a wonderful reminder to be kind to others.
