About this ebook

"The book takes us to the very personal world of the child, powerfully reminding us that the emotional needs of children everywhere are the same." - Beverley Paine, The Educating Parent

A simple question, Will You Fill My Bucket?, is asked by children from twelve different countries. Sweet rhyming prose and vividly captivating illustrations express the deep joy and love we hope for all children. Bucket filling, the essence of being loved and loving others, occurs in those little moments throughout the day when you stop and just listen, cuddle, and play with a child. Will You Fill My Bucket? lays the foundation of the bucket filling concept while introducing the child to the beautiful cultural diversity of our world.
