A kid named Bucket stars in this cheery series by Tom Rademacher, illustrated by Esther Hernando (Stone Arch), about taking action to make positive changes, big or small. The stories are told in engaging, first-person, stream-of-consciousness narratives, whose often-breathless sentences reflect Bucket’s personality. “I’m not always good at staying focused,” Bucket tells us—and readers who feel similarly may see themselves reflected. Even if one has to hang on through Bucket’s frequent tangents, though, all readers should appreciate their irrepressible personality and kind heart. Bucket’s nonbinary identity is mostly incidental to the plots, though it comes up briefly in one scene in the third volume, when they are happy to meet a teacher who is also nonbinary, “like me.” In an introduction common to all volumes, however, after Bucket introduces themself and their friends, they explain that they use “they” and “them” pronouns, which “fit lots better” than “he” or “she.” One friend, they note, “used to struggle” with using “they,” but because she “would just fix it and move on and not make a big deal about it,” Bucket was okay with that (and the friend eventually always got it right). It’s a clear teaching moment, but remains separate from the main stories. Backmatter includes Author’s Notes that further expand each volume’s themes, Questions for Readers, and related activities for solo readers and groups.
