Celebrate American Girl Addy's Birthday !
It's time to celebrate the historic American Girls' Birthdays - right now it's Addy Walker's turn! In the picture above Addy is wearing an 1800's dress similar to her school dress that her mother made from scraps at the sewing shop where she worked . . . perfect for spring!
All of the Addy items available are on sale through Friday April 11, 2008.
Addy didn't really know when her birthday was because slaveowners didn't keep track and most slave parents were unable to know the exact date. But they did know Addy was born in the spring . . . so Addy got to pick her own birthday. She wanted one that was special and ended up picking April 9th, the end of the Civil War. Definitely a special day to celebrate!
The picture above is Addy's new American Girl Frame Puzzle - it contains three different pictures from Addy's books. The one shown is Addy at the train station; there's also a picture from the cover of Meet Addy and a picture of Addy with a schoolteacher and student.
Addy's Mystery Books are also on sale - The Shadows on Society Hill as pictured below is sure to thrill girls as they read about Addy's adventures!
Happy Birthday Addy Walker!!
