[ha-Safran] Looking for a book/story (Aviva Rosenberg)
Hi Aviva, Filling Your Bucket books tells how filling other people's buckets fill your own and may suit your purposes: Have you filled a bucket today? – A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids. – Carol McCloud. Nelson Pub. 2006. Ages 6-9. this heartwarming book encourages positive behavior as children see how rewarding it is to express daily kindness, appreciation, and love. Bucket filling and dipping are effective metaphors for understanding the effects of our actions and words on the well being of others and ourselves. How Full is Your Bucket for Kids? - Tom Rath.Gallup Press. 2009. ISBN-13: 9781595620279 Ages 3-8. Through the story of a little boy named Felix, this charming book explains to children how being kind not only helps others, it helps them, too. As he goes about his day, Felix interacts with different people — his sister Anna, his grandfather, other family and friends. Some people are happy, but others are grumpy or sad. Using the metaphor of a bucket and dipper, Felix’ grandfather explains why the happy people make Felix feel good, while the others leave him feeling bad — and how Felix himself is affecting others, whether he means to or not. There is another one I just came across called True Bucketfilling Stories: Legacies of Love by Stacy Lundgren. but I am not familiar with it. recommended ages 8-12.

Re: [ha-Safran] Looking for a book/story-Middle East
Linda Silver reviewed the book A Little Piece of Ground in the Sep/Oct, 2003
AJL Newsletter. You should read her review; she calls this novel a powerful
propaganda piece that presents Israelis as monsters, while Palestinian Arabs
evoke sympathy and empathy. So I have to question why children are assigned
to read it in the first place. They shouldn't be. The closest I can
think of in answer to your search is Bottle in the Gaza Sea, by Valerie
Zenatti, but it is for slightly older readers and dates to the time when Israel
was still in Gaza. I don't think you'll find a true counter-novel to A Little
Piece of Ground. Years ago, I wrote to a favorite Sydney Talyor
Award-winning author and asked her to write a novel for middle grade students,
that doesn't paint Israelis as aggressors and Arabs as their helpless
victims...a novel where the hero or heroine is a young Israeli, struggling to
live a normal life amid terrorism...that would counter the image of Israel that
is found in much of children's literature... I'm afraid she declined, as she
had moved on to other writing. Finally, there are some non-fiction books about
the conflict (for kids) that are fair and accurate, and I would be glad to
provide titles if you wish. Andrea Rapp From: Stacy Brown

Another to consider – Because Amelia Smiled by David Ezra Stein With just a smile from the little girl Amelia as she skips down the street, Mrs. Higgins smiles too, and bakes cookies to send to her grandson Lionel, in Mexico. From there the happy feelings spread across the world in chain reactions from person to person.
