She's so skilled at worrying that she worries about new and interesting things no one else even thinks about! But when Mrs Hunt tells the class there is going to be a school musical, Lucy decides she wants to be a part of it. She's too worried to try out for any of the parts, but Mrs Hunt finds the perfect role for her. Being a piece of the landscape may not suit everyone, but Lucy puts everything into being the best tree she can, and with a sprinkle of courage she stands proud and tall as her knees knock and her tummy ties in knots. She becomes the best tree anyone can ever remember! Lucy may worry, but she also knows that sometimes she can be courageous too, showing children everywhere that it's okay to be worried and still embrace opportunities!Courageous Lucy doesn't ignore anxiety in children or offer a hollow solution to 'just be brave'. Although her experiences don't totally change Lucy, they show her that while stepping out of your comfort zone always takes courage, once you do, wonderful and magical things can happen. Just taking one tiny step and deciding that you want to do something is sometimes all it takes to be courageous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Russell\u003c\/b\u003e is a primary teacher, artist, playwright and children's author of \u003ci\u003eGrandma Forgets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMy Storee\u003c\/i\u003e, among others, with \u003ci\u003eGrandma Forgets\u003c\/i\u003e making the CBCA list of notable picture books in 2018.
