This is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and authenticity. Join Lil Peter as he takes a bold step to deliver a class speech and learns that being himself is the ultimate path to success. When he extends a helping hand to his brother, Marty, to conquer his stage fright, the two brothers unlock the magic of embracing their true selves.
This story shows kids to believe in themselves and stay strong, even in the face of challenges. Be True, Lil Peter, Be You invites young readers to explore the significance of self-confidence, resilience, and the beauty of being authentic. It's a reminder to all of us to be proud of who we are—encouraging kids to shine in their own awesomeness!
And now for the secret... As with many tales from our Lil Peter book series, this one draws inspiration from real events in Peter's childhood. In a special tribute, we dedicate this story to Peter's actual brother, Martin Anthony, a remarkably gifted tribute artist and singer.
Peter Valdez and Tasche Laine, co-authors
Peter Valdez III and his wife, Tasche Laine (a multi-genre author), collaborated on their first children’s book, Get Up, Lil Peter. Get Up!, to pay tribute to Peter’s grandfather. The oldest of 29 grandchildren, Peter was nicknamed ‘Lil Peter’ to differentiate him from his father and grandfather. Each story in the series is told with a message or lesson that impacted Peter’s life as a child, and grounded him as an adult.
Peter was born and raised in and around the Los Angeles area, in California. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with Tasche and their pups, Story & Page. He also enjoys coaching and playing soccer.

First, I want to thank Peter Valdez, Tasche Laine, Mei Mei Leonard and Skye Blue Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Be True Lil Peter Be You is in my opinion Peter Valdez, Tasche Laine and Mei Mei Leonard’s best book ever!! The characters were very relatable, the story was fun, and there were some very important messages conveyed. Lessons that both young and old would appreciate.
I absolutely loved how Peter dedicated this book to his brother and best friend Martin Anthony Valdez! What he wrote about Marty was very beautiful!
One aspect of the book that I loved was the bond the two brothers had! You could tell how much they loved and supported each other.
Mei Mei did an incredible job bringing the story to life with extremely cute and fun graphics. She is very talented.
At the end of the book there are some fun activities for the kids.
