Being a mother of a beautiful brown skinned, curly haired daughter I'm always on the lookout for books that have characters she can relate to but, until now, I've never found one that stole my heart as little Princess Truly has. The fact that this adorable little Princess has my daughters head full of fluffy, springy magical curls is just the start of why I love this book. She is also kind hearted and intelligent. Two things that I want my daughter to know are just as important as being pretty! The illustrations in this book are beautiful and full of little details that caught and held my 2 year olds attention and the story line is a great mix with a little bit of science and a little bit of magic.Princess Trulys cute pug, Sir Noodles, also managed to get a giggle from my daughter. I have no doubt as she gets older and is able to focus on the story for more then 2 minutes (She is 2 after all) she will only grow to love this book more. Thank you to the author for bringing to life a princess that my own little princess can relate too. While I highly recommend this book to anybody who is raising a curly haired daughter, it is a wonderful book for ANY little princess. Enjoy!
Thank you to this author for writing such a cute book whose main character happens resembles my daughter! This book helped her see how truly beautiful her magical curls are, just like Princess Truly. It is a positive image in her liking which is grossly lacking in our society. I hope this to be just one in a series of more of Princess Truly's stories.
This book allows little brown girls to enjoy this genre of story ( the "cute" little princess in pink ) without feeling as though they have to compromise any aspect of how they view themselves. I also like the fact that the princess is self determined, loves to read is beautiful but not reliant on her looks and of course it is wonderful to have a figure of color celebrate the innate beauty and magic of something that makes them "the other" ( in this case hair ) without the entire story becoming twisted and preachy in order to fulfill this need.It is not an uncomplicated issue writing ( though this is for her children, it also reaches beyond that ) "for" "others" and in some cases these kind of projects make me feel rather uneasy, this book was not like that... it is not trying to be a saviour to a people nor does it seek barking overt tactics. In fact, just like the best ( I mean most effective ) racism the story uses subversive tactics to help ensure that little girls with poofy curly hair can stay or fall in love with their clouds without it becoming "a thing", that is, in the most magical way. It is quite simply a story much like the ones your little girls gravitate towards but can't ever see themselves in but this time, there they are. ( I should also say that outside of a lead lady of colour this is also just a better class of book compared to what you usually get with these kinds of stories. I highly recommend it for all little girls who are into this kind of stuff. )P.S. As adult opinions in children's matters seldom amount to much I should also mention that my four year old loves it and reads it to herself frequently !
An amazing book for any little girl who loves princesses. I try to incorporate as many brown characters in my daughter's life as possible, so I was already considering this book. But what made me press the button was my daughter came over and asked who that was on the screen. I said she's a princess...that got an instant smile from my BabyGirl, who is obsessed with everything princess. Lol...she said "Is that me???" I said "I don't know, what do you think???"...My baby said "IT IS MEEE!!! She is wearing pink like me and that is the hair that you gave me!!!" I was instantly sold with that comment, my baby is able to see herself as the princess, the heroine, the main character in her new favorite bedtime story. Any mom of brown skinned, curly-haired baby knows how hard it is to find a good book that features your child.Sincerely,Mom of my own personal Princess Truly
I really liked this book for my daughter:) The princess is smart, caring and a problem solver! The art work is stunning. I may have to order a second copy just to frame some of the pages for my daughters bedroom. It also seemed very pure or innocent...
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! I love how Princess Truly uses her hair as her magic to help others. I told my daughter that her hair is magic like Princess Truly and and she told me that Princess Truly has a lot of hair like she does!!!
I so love this book and for some reason my daughter cracks up over any mention of Bun the Bunny. I discovered this book on a blog and sought it out for my African American daughter. As a conscious black parent, I rely on quality dolls, book and media to assist in making sure that what she reads and plays with offers her a positive sense of who she is, who she can become and what others like her are doing out in the world. Princess Truly is a very whimsical character in fairytale form that is a far cry from the role of side-kick, tongue and cheek banter often seen in black character in the media (kids included) and gives her something (safe) to giggle at, idolize and share with her friends.
