On Good Morning America today they revealed the new Girl of the Year 2017, dancer and poet Gabriela McBride! Her collection looks like it will be very cute!
I love her headphones and outfit in this photo, so awesome! You can check out the whole video of this morning's segment by clicking here. From the article it says, Gabriela is a true creative talent who uses poetry to help break down barriers and overcome her personal challenge of stuttering. She will have a series of three books. They are about her living in a family of artists and how finding her voice through poetry helps Gabriela save her beloved community arts center from destruction.
American Girl is also partnering with Scholastic to release a curriculum program, Express Yourself, to teach poetry to students. They'll also feature a poetry contest to celebrate National Poetry Month in April. How fun! :)
What do you think of Gabriela? Will she be on your wishlist? :)
