Review

Praise for I Am Curious! (Princess Truly #7):

"This delightful book features a relatable and inquisitive little girl who many readers-especially those who love science-will be able to identify with." -- School Library Journal

Praise for I Am Mighty! (Princess Truly #6):

"[T]he limited vocabulary and rhymed endings help young readers predict their way through the stories. Greenawalt's nod to the beauty of girls of color offers an opportunity for all children to hone their reading chops." -- School Library Journal

Praise for Off I Go! (Princess Truly #2):

"Princess Truly is not only magical, she is also kind... This is evident throughout the narrative as she helps a penguin and tries to cheer up Sir Noodles. The book contains three short chapters with one or two sentences per page, making it a great choice for students who are just starting to read chapter books. The full-color illustrations on each page add to the fun, whimsical text. Princess Truly's curls actually sparkle with rainbows when she works her magic. VERDICT This adorable story is a must-have for fans of the series, as well as a great addition to any early chapter book section." -- School Library Journal

Praise for I Am a Super Girl! (Princess Truly #1):

"Young readers who admire Black Panther but need to see superheroes as young as they are will enjoy not only Princess Truly's magic hair and flightworthy boots, but also her confidence, creativity, and supportive attitude toward others... Readers will respond to this confident, can-do girl who demonstrates that magical adventures are easy to create." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Divided into three short stories and illustrated with energetic, colorful images that both mirror and deepen the text, this transitional chapter book is ideal for brand-new readers. Many children (and their caregivers) will also appreciate that, while Princess Truly does have magical skills, what makes her truly 'super' is her kindness, empathy, and creative problem-solving." -- Publishers Weekly

Praise for Princess Truly in My Magical, Sparkling Curls:

"Girls... will welcome this gleeful celebration of self-confidence and black girl magic." -- Publishers Weekly

"Explores the magical potential of Afro hair... [a] home-away tale worth the trip." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Princess Truly is a bold and bright role model of positive self-image and embracing your unique diversity." -- Booklist

Praise for Princess Truly in I Am Truly:

Named a Best Book of 2017 by Essence Magazine

"The perfect choice for youngsters from pre-K to second grade." -- Essence

"A celebration of boundless potential... positive, fun, and truly lively." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Defies predictability... pair with Andrea Beaty's Rosie Revere, Engineer (2013) for another story about a strong, independent, capable girl." -- Booklist

Kelly Greenawalt is a wife, mother and children's book author living just outside of Houston, Texas. She has always been freckle-faced handful with a vivid imagination and a passion for storytelling. Her first book, Princess Truly and The Hungry Bunny Problem, was written for her daughters when she noticed a critical shortage of books featuring smart and capable princesses, especially black princesses with gorgeous natural puffy curls. What started out as a small, independently published project turned into something TRULY magical when Scholastic Books picked up the series.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2022
I will be honest. As a mom to Black girls, when I see a Black girl on the cover of a book I'm thrilled, and I also have a set of expectations. Then, when it features curly hair, those expectation go even higher. This one falls really flat because her curly hair is mentioned as a major feature to her magic, but it doesn't have a place in the story. What makes it magic? Is all curly hair magic? When it gets magical, what curly hair things does it do? It seems to be nothing. Just an arbitrary body feature with magic.

I think this is important to a lot of us because hair is such a distinct and important feature. I think the takeaway from a young black girl reading this book (and I admit, this might be reaching) is that her curly hair is different in some way and she doesn't understand why. For my 5 year old, it was honestly just a bland book that she had no interest in reading again :/

But one book that we LOVE that shows off the magic of curly hair is Stella's Stellar hair...so cute! Also basically ANY Vashti Harrison illustrated book.

OH and Jada Jones and Sugar Plum Ballerinas series for early readers.

But pass on this one.
