I've seen the Gali Girls website in the past, a website that sells Jewish oriented dolls and books, and thought it was a nice idea.But now they've done something that American Girl hasn't been able to do. They've come out with a Chinese doll and accompanying book.
Reyna is a little girl who is growing up in Kaifeng in 1175 and undergoing all kinds of exciting adventures as detailed in her book, Reyna and the Jade Star. She comes in traditional Chinese dress, with a magen david necklace, a Shabbat kit, and has other available outfits.
Unfortunately, it's not coming out until July. Not soon enough for me!
(My husband has been notified that he MAY WANT TO PURCHASE A PRESENT FOR ME AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY. AND THE EXACT NATURE OF SUCH PRESENT HAS ALSO BEEN INDICATED. That's all I'm saying).

This is wondeful--I didn't know about Reyna. Of course, my luck, my daughter (not home yet) will want the blonde American Girl doll, not the Chinese one. (I get more dolls for myself that way!)
You're welcome.
And yes, the doll's really for me. I think we all know that.
