A new doll, Melody Ellison, will be released this Thursday (August 25) and here is what American Girl has told me about her release:
As always, we have these great events listed on our calendar. Click below for information about the events at our local store:American Girl is excited to announce the official debut of its newest BeForever character, Melody Ellison, on Thursday, August 25. In her stories, Melody, a 9-year old growing up in Detroit, Michigan, during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, lifts her voice for equality and helps bring this significant time in America's history to life for girls today.
To coincide with Melody's debut, American Girl is launching the Lift Your Voice with Melody campaign. Starting August 20, fans can watch the Lift Your Voice with Melody video at www.americangirl.com/liftyourvoice and then share their own inspiring videos and photos on how they make a difference, using #LiftYourVoice. And, starting August 26, American Girl Orlando is hosting free Melody-inspired events geared for girls ages 8 and up that include a free craft, 1960s music, food, and a free gift. More details are available at www.americangirl.com/retail.

As many of you know, we are a homeschool family and books play a HUGE part in our learning. Needless to say, we are really excited to check out the Melody books at the events in the store this weekend!
