Reading books with kids is such a good way to bring life lessons to the forefront without being too "in their face." I love this list of books, especially "Bucket Filling Fairy" by our very own Ann Marie Gardinier Halstead ! One of my all-time fave books to cultivate kindness and empathy!

Thank you, Elisa A. Schmitz 30Seconds ! How kind of you. I hope my book helps lots of kids to fill others' buckets (and fill their own at the same time!). We could use more love, empathy, and kindness in the world!
