The poverty and need for clean water in the world can be overwhelming. We can't help everyone, but we can help one person, one family, and one village at a time. This book does an excellent job of showing young readers how to get involved and how to be sensitive to these issues. The readers can make a difference, it doesn't matter how young or how old they are. Just remember the true story of Luke! --Bill and Renee Plaza with Impact for Jesus, a non-profit organization devoted to clean water efforts in Haiti

More importantly it inspires us to wonder how we could choose to make a difference. --Bob Sornson, founder of the Early Learning Foundation and author of The Juice Box Bully, Stand in My Shoes, and Stand Up and Speak Up for Yourself and Others.
Like a glass of homemade lemonade, this story is sweet and refreshing. As a
science teacher, I love the fascinating facts the author shares about the
vital role of water in the world, and how all of us (even children) can play
a role in conserving and sharing it. Well done! --Joanne Billingsley, former Texas Regional Teacher of the Year, author of Aim to Grow Your Brain: The Secret Mindset of Underachieving Students & Five Steps to Inspiring Greater Effort
This is such a creative and imaginative book! I love that the buckets have their own personalities and you feel like Bucket 96 is really talking to you. It was fun to see the water filtration buckets come alive. I think after reading about a third grader making a big difference, other kids will know they can too and take some action to help! --Luke H., 3rd grader, Inspiration for "Luke" in Bucket 96
The book, Bucket 96, is a twist-tale with both fiction and nonfiction in the same story. The characters are great, especially Bossy Buck because he brings out Bucket 96's defensive side. All of the information after the fiction section teaches readers about conserving water. If you are interested in a great read, Bucket 96 is the book for you! --Sophie B., 5th grader
The buckets have such rich personalities and I so enjoyed discovering them with my children. We giggled, and worried and rejoiced through each stage of the book. I just know kids and adults alike will be inspired by this book. It is creatively written and full of adventure. I can’t wait to share it with other families. --Allison Hasan, mother of three children who have raised more than $4,000 towards clean water efforts in Haiti
