Welcome to Buddy’s Book Review! A review of our favorite children’s books here at The Nest Schools. We thoroughly believe in the power of literature, and we are excited to introduce wonderful new children’s books to our families in hopes that they will expand their own home libraries as we expand our own!
How will we review and rate each book? Each book will be rated in terms of its likeness to our core values: KINDNESS, WELLNESS, INNOVATION, and FUN. Five beautiful feathers will be given for the core value we think each book best represents. Happy Reading!
Have You filled a Bucket Today?
Author: Carol McCloud

“Have You Filled a Bucket Today?” is a heartwarming and inspiring children’s book that introduces the transformative power of kindness, compassion, and empathy. Through the simple yet impactful concept of an invisible bucket that everyone carries, the story teaches young readers that every kind act, word, or gesture “fills” someone else’s bucket—and their own in the process. Perfect for sparking meaningful conversations, this uplifting book encourages children to embrace positivity and think about how their actions impact others. With vibrant illustrations and an engaging message, it’s a delightful way for families to nurture kindness, build emotional intelligence, and create a ripple effect of joy in their daily lives.
Buddy gives this book 5 feathers for KINDNESS!
