Lea Clark’s Story
Lea will have 3 books to tell her tale and I LOVE that this year’s doll will introduce our girls to another part of the world and show girls that they can make a difference to support wildlife – or whatever your passion and cause may be…….
Written by award-winning author Lisa Yee, the 2016 Girl of the Year books—Lea Dives In, Lea Leads the Way, and Lea and Camila—introduce girls to a curious ten-year-old girl with an adventurous spirit. On a family trip to Brazil to visit her older brother, Zac, who is studying the Amazon rainforest, Lea is excited to capture everything she sees with her camera. Soon Lea makes some incredible discoveries, but she also faces unexpected challenges, including a fear of the ocean, tension with Zac, and finding a baby sloth that has been gravely injured. With the help of her family, her new Brazilian friend, Camila, and her late grandmother’s guiding inspiration, Lea finds the inner strength and confidence to live her new adventures to the fullest.

Giving Back with American Girl Lea to the World Wildlife Fund
American Girl has created Wild at Art, a year-long fund-raising campaign in support of World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Starting January 1, American Girl is encouraging girls to use their artistic abilities to host an art sale and donate the proceeds to WWF. To launch the campaign, American Girl has made a $50,000 donation to WWF and also invites customers to contribute at American Girl retail stores and americangirl.com. Parents can visit americangirl.com/wildatart to learn more and register for Wild at Art, plus get animal-themed craft ideas, and be entered into a sweepstakes for the chance to win one of 17 Lea prize packages.
I love her, but I’m not a fan of the zip-tie. I do like the animal rights activist/wildlife phorographer aspect to her story. She is very pretty and I like the WWF donation campaign. I just can’t get over the zip-tie! Well, I called the corporate office and I was told the string-ties are going to be a thing of the past! Tacky zip-ties for now on, girls.:( That is just honestly so sad and disturbing to me. The neck strings are an American Girl institution and separates the dolls from the cheaper competition at Michels and Target. I don’t think AG is heading in the right direction!
