BABY'S BUCKET Book
Carol McCloud, illustrated by Glenn Zimmer

This easy-to-read, rhyming, board book starts the process of teaching infants and toddlers that they have their own unique bucket inside, filled with love and light. When they are happy, their buckets are full. Throughout life, our bucket level indicates our mental and emotional health and happiness.

New brain research shows that a parent is a baby's most important and necessary 'bucket filler'. Every time a parent or other caregiver smiles, kisses, soothes, cares for and plays with a baby, they are fulfilling essential human needs. They are creating brain pathways and building a solid foundation for future learning, health and happiness. In addition to the known benefits of time spent bonding and reading to baby, this book uses brilliant colours and joyous faces to entertain baby and explain to adults their baby's needs for security, love, belonging and fun.
