We
all know about the American Girl franchise, right, the dolls, the books, etc.? I
grew up on those. I collected the books. I think I still have at least some of
them. I even had a bitty baby (pictured below).
Recently,
I’ve learned some news about the American Girl franchise. They are putting the
spotlight on disabilities and differences. This makes me very happy.
In
a way, I guess I’m still a child at heart, how else can you explain that I’m 22
years old and I still want a doll? But I am very excited about the news. For
me, I think that one of the best presents I could ever receive in the future
would be an American Girl Doll, blonde hair, blue eyes, and wears a hearing
aid:
Why
a hearing aid? Because I am hearing impaired and I have been since birth. And
like the American Girl Dolls, I like to embrace my disabilities because it is a
part of who I am.
Until next time, God Bless.

I am glad that you shared this, I know that I don't have disabilties but I deeply love and respect everyone regardless of their differences! I know this was a great company and they had a variety of books and other great things for girls. I felt so sad when I outgrew the magazines but I was truly grateful for some of the articles because it helped brighten up my days.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday you and I both can save up enough money to get one of these beloved dolls.
