Girl of the Year
Each year, American Girl introduces a brand-new character with an inspirational story of what it means to be an American girl today.
From making friends to facing challenges to learning from her mistakes, every Girl of the Year discovers something new and exciting about herself and the world around her.
She’s an energetic girl who discovers
the world in her own backyard.
