Exclusive Video Interview with Author Audra Wallace

Meet the Co-author of How Full Is Your Bucket? Young Reader’s Edition

Audra Wallace Says

“Discuss the strategies with the kids…hear what they’re experiencing and how they’re connecting with the text.…Use the strategies throughout the school year and just build this community where people have space, and they feel good about themselves.”

The original edition of How Full Is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath was a huge New York Times bestseller. When it came time to adapt the book about the power of positive thinking for kids, Audra Wallace drew on her experience as a third grade teacher to help make it really useful for young readers.

Watch this exclusive video interview to discover how Audra created the young reader’s edition, how she personally responded to Tom’s original book, and the message she wants to share with kids.
