Look down at your Barbie. Now back at me. Now back at your Barbie, now back at me. Sadly, she is not me. But if she stopped being so obsessed with shopping, she could become as interesting as me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in the 1770s with a girl your doll could be like. What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s a book with historical references about a time period you thought was boring in school. Look again. The story is now an adventure! Anything is possible when your doll is more like American Girl and not Barbie. I’m on a horse.
