They shimmer and they shine.

In this follow-up to 2017's Princess Truly in I Am Truly, the effervescent African-American heroine takes her self-esteem to new levels: "I love my fluffy, puffy curls./ I'm so happy they are mine./ When I believe in myself, / They shimmer and they shine." Not only do her curls sparkle like firecrackers, they are also able to transport her to a multitude of locations: Rauscher's sunny watercolors show Princess Truly meeting friendly dinosaurs in a prehistoric past, exploring undersea depths in a purple submarine, and venturing into the cosmos where she starts a rock band with a group of aliens. Princess Truly's affirmations can get a bit repetitive, yet girls whose personalities are as buoyant as hers will welcome this gleeful celebration of self-confidence and black girl magic. Ages 3-5. (Jan.)
