In today’s episode, we’re doing a deep dive into one of our FAVORITE playthings from childhood—American Girl Dolls and their accompanying books. Joined by very special guest and leading American Girl expert Emma Wright, we’re revisiting the stories that shaped our childhood. Today, we’re revisiting Kit and Addy’s stories, plus a brief mention of Dolls of Our Lives, another book. 

For more about the making of Addy, we highly recommend this Slate article. Plus, take the AG personality quiz! 

Finally, read-along with us as we reviewed a hilarious piece, American Girl Dolls Ranked In Order of Gayness.
