American Girl dolls are pretty ubiquitous these days. These expensive dolls have an endless collection of accessories and outfits that your stimulus check won’t even come close to buying.
There are also books — so many books. The dolls have their own history and backstory and kids apparently really dig it. Sounds pretty innocent.
But it is NOT. Or so say the One Million Moms group that is throwing a fit over Kira, the new American Girl doll. Apparently American Girl chooses a Girl of the Year each year and makes said girl into a doll?
And there’s a book that goes along with the doll. Kira is the Girl of 2021, and in her book she travels to Australia to help work at a wildlife sanctuary where she gets to bottle feed Koala bears and stuff.
