Buddy the Bucket Filler by Maria Dismondy and Carol McCloud

May 5, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Buddy is a bucket filler. And in Buddy the Bucket Filler we find out what this is (doing nice things to help other people fill their imaginary happiness bucket) and how to do it. Maria Dismondy and Carol McCloud create a short story about how Buddy, a young kid visiting his great uncle for a week during the summer, helps the people of Uncle Frank’s town. They find ways to get barbecue sauce to the barbecue picnic. They help a neighbor carry her groceries; they […]

However, when five kids from […]

Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave

May 8, 2018 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave by Jessica Hische is an interesting take on being brave, adventures and trying new things. The narrator has done many things today and tomorrow they will try to do them all over again. They will keep trying if they did not make it today or even if they did not make it tomorrow. They know that is okay. Tomorrow I’ll be all the things I tried to be today: Adventurous, Strong, Smart, Curious, Creative, Confident, & Brave. And if I wasn’t […]
