Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun - Now translated to Spanish!

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

Lucy has big hair, eats fun foods–like spaghetti in a hot dog bun–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.
