It gives children something of their own to hold onto when things around them are going thru changes they don't really comprehend.
It is also helpful for children who have friends going through divorce and showing sings of anger or depression..
A Bucket Full of Love for Mommy's Little Girl is a book for ages four and older that provides compassionate answers. Kids will learn from its pages the value of the love that surrounds them--from mom, grandma, grandpa, as well as siblings. It teaches them to become aware of the love that is right before them in the here and now, and what a beautiful and lasting thing it is.

Excerpt:
"So all the love in the make-believe bucket is for me! All mine?"
Grandma nodded.
"I think I can add more love to the bucket by loving them all back," the little girl said wistfully.


Author H. C. Wingert speaks from experience. She is the grandmother of two girls who are coping with the pain of separation from their parent. She says, "A Bucket Full of Love has emerged from observing the pain that the children cannot verbalize." A child of divorce herself, Wingert says she has experienced hopelessness and helplessness, and most of all the yearning for the other parent. The intent of the book, she says, "is not to put blame on anyone, but rather for children to be able to accept what is."
In a day and age when so many children must face the pain of living in a divided family environment, A Bucket Full of Love for Mommy's Little Girl is a balm for the heart.
