Truly is a precious little girl who is a genius and a young inventor. She builds a turbo-charged bike for her little brother so he won't feel left out. She also invents a teeth brushing machine and even a snack machine. She oftentimes takes old things and makes new, exciting things with them. With a heart of gold, her mission is to help anyone she can. Whenever she has a brilliant idea, her magic curls radiate, and she quickly jumps into creator-mode. She is sure of herself and never holds herself back from doing great things. The end of the book features instructions for drawing Truly's little brother, Ty and an activity for kids.

WOW! I ADORED this book. I absolutely loved Truly's spirit and independence. She is well-rounded since she is smart, helpful, and confident in herself. She is also proactive; she does not wait around to do something--she does it right then and there. Kids can learn a lot from her and will know that the sky is the limit. Too often, children are told they're too small to bring about great change or do something extraordinary. The love she has for Ty is admirable, too. Kids who might be a big sister or big brother can learn a lot about sibling graciousness from this great character. I can't say enough wonderful things about this extraordinary piece of literature! Aside from the story itself, the activity and drawing instructions at the end are invaluable additions. With these additions, kids can fuel their creative minds and embrace the arts. ( )
