PreS-Gr 1--With a strong message of empowerment, this book is a simple story about a little girl of color who can dream and do anything she puts her mind to. A continuation of the series, this installment finds Truly sailing the seas, engineering a teddy bear machine, parachuting, and tying her shoes. The message of "I am special--and so are you" is sweet and to the point. Soft, pastel illustrations highlight the simple rhyming text. VERDICT A general purchase for libraries serving primary grades, this title is sure to become a quick favorite with readers of the series.--Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh
