American Girl Dolls, Books and Accessories

For the first time in these special collector's favorites, the American Girl of the Year is deaf! Her name is Joss Kendrick and she is the eighteens girl to be represented in the American Girl collection.

Her story connects the issues that many girls deal with in growing up, especially those with hearing loss and the challenges that can bring.

Released on January 1st, 2020 Joss is a young girl who loves to surf with her friend Sofia along with Murph the bulldog. A problem arises when Dylan her brother wants to join the cheering team with an ulterior motive.

There are two book that follow the adventures of Joss. One tells of her love for surfing and the other one shares the details on how she reluctantly becomes involved with cheerleading, through the help of her brother Dylan. In the end we see what it means to Joss to be a good team player.

American Girl has made a pledge to donate $25,000 to the Hearing Loss Association of American in the efforts to support the cause for the hearing impaired.

Past American Girl Doll of the Year Mia with Paperback Book

There's a new girl in the spotlight and on the hearts of little girls. Her name is Mia, and she is one of the favorite and hard to find American Girl Dolls of the Year collection.

Something that girls can relate to is pressure and competition, whether it is between another girl or even brothers. This year's chosen girl is no exception when it comes to her share of frustrating moments.

Mia is feeling a bit pulled in different directions lately. She loves skating that's for sure, but no longer does she want to remain in the shadow of her older brothers when it comes to ice hockey. Instead Mia is taking a risk and stepping out into a field she doesn't know in the form of figure skating. Certainly she can skate, but figure skating is entirely different than hitting a hockey puck on the ice or even being a ballerina.

With the encouragement of a coach, Mia stretches herself into learning the skills she needs to pursue a new career as a champion skater.

Doll Information

Mia has been a champion among young girls, and now as a retired piece it will be hard to find her (or her accessories) after this year. This collectible doll is 18 inches tall, has long red hair, green eyes and freckles. She comes with her skates, story book and is fully dressed in winter attire.

Inside this carrying case comes a mirror and sectioned compartment area for all Mia's hair needs. Kit includes the following:
2 silvery bobby pins with sparkly blue jewels
6 star-shaped hair clips, 10 blue elastics bands
12 copper-colored hair pins, 20 clear elastic bands.
hair brush and one silver tiara studded with faux rhinestones.

American Girl of the Year Dolls are only available during the current year of their reign, so they are highly collectible.

Why American Girl Dolls?

Talk to almost any little girl and you will find they have several things in common. Who doesn't love having a mini "self" to dress like and share common interests? Every American Girl doll comes with a realistic story that a child can relate to and live an adventure with at home and play.

Finding the perfect doll that reflects who they are is vital in matching a doll with a little girl. When a little girl has their own American Girl doll, she can dress like her and watch how the character grows and progresses over time. The relationship is more than owning a toy, but the pairing of friends.

Here is: Isabella, the 2014 American Girl Doll of the Year! She won't be around for long so if this is the doll for your child you may want to get her before the end of the year.

Isabella will be retired in December 2014 to make room for the new American Doll of the Year.

American Girl Crafts and Books Sets are a top selling product for a number of reasons, but mostly that they are interactive and are geared towards developing the imagination of a child.
