Book Synopsis

"I've been a big fan of the timeless concept of Bucket Filling . . . This newcomer . . . brings an important dimension to the idea of filling and dipping by addressing the invisible lid to help with what to do with the ouches in life. . . I think you'll find it'll make the intangible concepts of kindness, resilience and grit something that our learners can hold on to and apply as they learn to sail the somewhat stormy seas of life." --Barbara Gruener, The Corner on Character
