“I felt that it was my job to reassure my reader that difficult things will happen to them, much like they happened to Molly. You’re going to experience big changes in your lifetime and you’re not going to end up where you began. But here’s the thing: You will be all right.”— Valerie Tripp, quoted in American Girl Sales Are Plummeting. Can the Iconic 90s Brand Be Saved?

Come Read with Us: Free Online Library
American Girl is releasing some of their books as free online downloads during the covid isolation period :) It looks like they are posting a historical book, the associated teacher’s guide, and a Smart Girl’s Guide book every week.
And if you miss a week, they’re still available. Adults can read these too.

ok american girl rant time: AG needs more asian characters, as in both south and east/southeast asia :( ivy was literally their only asian rep and they discontinued her which breaks my heart (she was so cool too) and as a south asian i feel so underrepresented and i would love to see a desi girl of the year or historical girl. it’s definitely necessary and i think the lack of diversity specifically in that area just sends a bad message
More Asian characters!
