As you prepare to head into the December break, I invite families to enjoy the book “Have you filled a bucket today?” by Carol McCloud. I had the opportunity to share it with a classroom as a guest reader earlier today, and was touched by the students’ reactions and commitment to being “bucket fillers”. The “Bucket Fillosophy” helps people of all ages live happier lives by growing in kindness, self-control, resilience and forgiveness. Check out the video below and the three rules that lead to greater happiness:
- Be a bucket filler. Be kind.
- Do your best not to dip. Don’t be mean.
- Use your lid. Protect your bucket and the buckets of others.

The book is available for purchase on Lazada and Amazon.
