Watch Lucy stay true to herself as she learns how to confront bullying with kindness! 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.

Or will she have the courage to be true to herself and make the right choice with an act of kindness?
