Fueled by self-confidence and the power of her "fluffy, puffy curls," African American girl Truly (I Am Truly) goes on another series of imaginative adventures, including exploring the ocean and taking a rocket ship to Mars. The book's joyously empowering message sparkles on every page as smart, fun-loving, and beautiful Princess Truly frolics through Rauscher's dreamy, pastel-colored settings.

Illustrated by

A brown-skinned girl named Truly asserts in rhyme how confident, capable, and strong she is, with the illustrations showing Truly sporting pigtails and a purple tutu as she studies, shoots hoops, drives a racecar, etc. At book's end, the mantra-like text asks, "Do you know that you can do all these things, too?" Truly delivers her girl-power message with self-assurance and abundant personality.
