I wanted to explore a character who struggles with her desire to fit in with the “popular” crowd and her desire to be true to herself. Her zest for life gets in the way of her ability to know when she is being manipulated by mean girl Scarlett Tandy. Lucy is a fourth grader with a huge heart, lots of energy, and a tendency to make mistakes. Tell us a little about Lucy and why you created her? As I was joining my voice with my sisters and parents, I would sometimes be overcome with a joy so big and deep I would start to cry. There was something magical about the idea of this car filled with music traveling along a road with darkness on either side. I loved it most when we were driving and singing at night. Show tunes, pop songs, folk songs, commercials, TV theme songs. My father loved to sing and whenever we would get in the car, we would all sing together.
