An illustrated adaptation of the long-running bestseller How Full Is Your Bucket? (more than 400,000 copies sold) for kids — told through the story of a boy who learns a valuable “bucket filling” metaphor and watches it come to life as the day unfolds. Every moment matters. Each of us has an invisible bucket. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When it’s empty, we feel awful. Yet most children (and many adults) don’t realize the importance of having a full bucket throughout the day. In How Full Is Your Bucket? For Kids, Felix begins to see how every interaction in a day either fills or empties his bucket. Felix then realizes that everything he says or does to other people fills or empties their buckets as well. Follow along with Felix as he learns how easy it can be to fill the buckets of his classmates, teachers and family members. Before the day is over, you’ll see how Felix learns to be a great bucket filler, and in the process, discovers that filling someone else’s bucket also fills his own.

A Bucket full of Love was written for children trying to cope with divorce. It is loved by educators and kids alike. Children will recognize that the love they received since birth cannot be erased by their parent's separation. A Bucket Full of Love is a book for ages four and older, providing compassionate answers. It follows the emotions of a little girl who feels sad. She lives with her dad and she hasn't seen her mom for a long time. She misses her so much that she tries to come up with reasons for how she might solve the problem. Finally she gets to share her pain with Grandma. Will Grandma's advice enable her to cope with her sadness and confusion?Author H. C. Wingert speaks from experience. A child of divorce herself, she is now the grandmother of two girls who are dealing with the separation from their mother. She says, "A Bucket Full of Love has emerged from observing the pain that the children cannot verbalize." Wingert says she too has experienced hopelessness and helplessness, and most of all the yearning for the other parent. The intent of the book, she says, "is not to put blame on anyone, but rather to help children to be able to accept what is.""In a day and age when one in two marriages are ending in divorce and 65% of those have children who must face the pain of living in a divided family environment, A Bucket Full of Love is a balm for the heart." writes OutskirtsPress.

**2015 New York Book Festival Honorable Mention****2015 Southern California Book Festival Honorable Mention****2016 Great Southeast Book Festival Honorable Mention****2016 New England Book Festival Honorable Mention**"The Full-Fillment" series of children's books, beginning with The Little Bucket, are meant to help children have a sense of their own inner wonder and connect to their own imagination. "WOW! The universe exists in a bucket?!" As a beginning place for self-awareness, children learn to set healthy boundaries, identify their feelings (mad, sad, glad, afraid) and learn to safely express all of their feelings appropriately, and even be a good listener in the process. We also learn in the Full-Fillment series that there is a pernicious "hole" in our bucket that seeks to get other children and other people to fill us up. The painful whines and complains about what others are or aren't doing. When the hole gets a hold of us we look into other buckets, complain about them, and even try to get them to fill us up. We do this instead of looking into our own bucket. When we can make the distinction between what is happening on the inside of us with what is happening on the outside of us (over which we have no control) we can find our happiness. Teaching children to do this, at a young age, will help them practice it as they grow up. This is the "WHAT" that The Little Bucket shows children: how to locate themselves within. With practice, we can learn to identify our own "hole" and have a sudden realization that we also have the "universe" (our creativity, imagination and curiosity) at our disposal. Many adults function out of the "hole" because they have forgotten the "universe" and as a result they live from the outside in, not the inside out. As children practice living from the inside out, together with other children, they feel happier and gain self-confidence and self-control. What better goal could we have to help children develop this inner competency, to take them through the rest of their lives. The practice of this in a classroom, for instance, will help students feel mutually affirmed and supported. A robust TEACHERS GUIDE is also available to help the teacher use this book as a model and practice in the classroom.
