什么都能让露西焦虑，而且她的焦虑很严重。她很擅长担心，她担心的那些新奇有趣的事情，其他人甚至都没想过！当亨特老师告诉全班同学要在学校上演一场音乐剧时，露西决定要参加。可是，她太担心了，不敢去尝试任何一个角色。不过，亨特老师为她找到了一个完美的角色。扮演一道景观也许并不适合每个人，但露西竭尽全力要把树这个角色演到**。虽然她的膝盖磕破了，肚子也因紧张而打结，但她还是鼓起勇气，骄傲地昂首挺立着。她成了大家记忆中演得**的树! 露西可能会焦虑，但她也知道，有时候她也可以很勇敢，她让全世界的孩子知道，焦虑也没关系，还是可以抓住机会!

《勇敢的露西》并没有忽视孩子们的焦虑，也没有给出 "勇敢一点就好了 "这样空洞的解决方案。虽然她的经历并没有完全改变Lucy，但却告诉她，虽然走出舒适区总是需要勇气的，但一旦你这样做了，美妙而神奇的事情就会发生。只需迈出一小步，并确定自己想要做某件事，有时就能给我们所需的勇气。

Lucy worries about everything and she worries a lot. 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.
