In 2006, Carol McCloud wrote her best-selling children's book, Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids. It was the first children's book to introduce millions of children and adults to the language of bucket filling and bucket dipping.

Buckets, Dippers, and Lids: Secrets to Your Happiness takes bucket filling and bucket dipping one step further by adding the idea that we also have an invisible lid. We "use our lid" to protect and keep the happiness in our bucket.

Readers learn what gives happiness, what takes some away, and what protects it. This concrete concept helps readers of all ages grow in kindness, self-control, resilience, empathy, and forgiveness, all leading to a healthier self-concept, more positive relationships, and greater happiness.

A valuable teaching tool for home, school, and life, this is a stand-alone or companion book to the other award-winning books by Bucket Fillers, Inc.
