If you or a little girl in your life is a fan of the American Girl doll collection, you may have heard that the company recently released details about the newest doll that will be available this summer on the eve of their 30th anniversary.
The new American Girl doll is from 1960s Detroit. Named Melody Ellison she is a 9-year-old African-American doll and aspiring singer, totally suited to the time and place she is representing. With a price point of $115, Melody will be accompanied by a paperback book.
According to American Girl’s website: “Nine-year-old Melody is growing up in Detroit in the mid-1960s, a time of great energy, optimism and change for the African-American community. She is a singer and loves to perform in church, with her family, and in her community. Her stories are set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement, which was gathering momentum, and the music scene, including the success and popularity of Motown Records and its artists.”
