This book sparked a great conversation about little things that make people feel good... Or bad. We thought about a lot of things that happen at school each day and sorted them into 'bucket fillers' or 'bucket dippers'. 
Ask your child what this means. I recently read a great article about raising happy children. The overall message was that we should stress to kids that the most important thing in life is to be kind, rather than happy. Kindness, in itself, brings happiness. I've been embracing this idea in the classroom, at home and in my own daily interactions too. Have a kind (and happy!) day!
