Lucy has big hair, eats fun foods and is teased by a boy named Ralph at
school because she is different. She tries to be brave but she
wishes the teasing would stop. What should I do? she asks herself over
and over.
Lucy's Papa Gino reminds her to do the right thing and treat people
with kindness. So when Ralph gets stuck on the playground and needs
help, will Lucy use this chance to teach Ralph a lesson? Or will she
have the courage to be true to herself and make the right choice
with an act of kindness?
Readers of all ages can empathize with Lucy's brave journey as she sets
out to rise above Ralph's mean words, stay true to herself and
build her self-esteem every step of the way.
