  "It's an important lesson to teach and remind us all . . . that showing kindness and appreciation of others goes a long way to making this world a happier place for everyone, including ourselves. A classic tale, beautifully told and beautifully shared." - Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers' Favorite Book Reviews While using a simple metaphor of a bucket and a dipper, author Carol McCloud illustrates that when we choose to be kind, we not only fill the buckets of those around us, but also fill our OWN bucket! Conversely, when we choose to say or do mean things, we are dipping into buckets. All day long, we are either filling up or dipping into each other's buckets by what we say and what we do. When you're a bucket filler, you make the world a better place to be! This 32-page picture book is perfect for children, parents, grandparents, teachers and people that want to teach empathy, nurture, kindness and create a positive environment in their home, classroom, workplace and community.

  12-year old Riley's best friend is Shelley, a friendly ghost girl who loves to explore, play pranks, and bake cookies. But when Riley's family moves into a haunted mansion with real ghost hunters, Shelley helps save the family from the spooky trickster ghosts living there by teaching Riley ghostbuster skills. 
  Full storyline description: 
  Riley is a lonely kid who has trouble making new friends since her dad's job often causes them to move around a lot. One day a quirky, rainbow-haired ghost girl named Shelley starts following Riley home from school. At first Riley is scared but Shelley proves to be friendly and fun by baking with her and making her laugh constantly.  
  But when Riley's family buys a creepy old mansion to renovate and sell, Shelley gets worried. She warns Riley that this "perfect" house is haunted by a group of nasty trickster ghosts who play mean pranks on living people and drive them away. Shelley worries the other ghosts will scare Riley away too. 
  Shelley comes up with the idea to train Riley in ghost hunting skills like detecting spectral presences, using warding circles, communicating through EVP recorders, and even specialized gadgets Shelley designed herself to combat ghosts. Together Riley and her best ghost friend work covertly to outwit the scheming ghosts and ultimately convince Riley's parents to abandon their renovation attempts rather than get hurt. 
  Along the way Riley comes to learn that ghosts were once real people with feelings too. With Shelley's help, Riley is finally able to convince the ghosts to move on to a better place and leave her family's dream house in peace. 
  Let me know if you would like any additional details for this paranormal middle grade idea!
