The author uses beautiful imagery to explain that a parent's love does not diminish when divorce occurs and guides youngsters in realizing how fortunate they are to have so many loved ones in their lives. The photos and colors are captivating and make the book come alive. Children in separated families will find comfort and reassurance by reading it or having it read to them.

She (the Author) offers her heart to other children who need someone like her to help them handle their grief over losing time and missing one of their parents. A child needs someone other than a parent to be neutral and a safe person that offers unconditional love, hugs, kisses and kind words. In her stories, Chris describes "a make believe bucket full of love" that is filled with all the love from a grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, aunts, uncles and siblings. The grandmother in the story explains how all of the love from everyone is in the bucket whenever the child needs to grab some of it, even if they are not seeing the other parent as often as they would like.
