American Girl Introduces Daisy Davenport\u2122, the 2027 Girl of the Year\u00ae, Encouraging Girls to Embrace Friendship, Teamwork, and Courage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nDaisy arrives during a milestone year for American Girl as the brand celebrates its 40th anniversary and four decades of creating characters and stories that inspire children. Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, Daisy is American Girl\u2019s first character from the state, a nod to the brand\u2019s Wisconsin roots. Her story follows her to Camp Gowonagin, the same summer camp beloved Historical Character Molly McIntire\u2122 attended decades earlier. When Daisy\u2019s best friend is unexpectedly unable to attend camp with her, the \u201cperfect summer\u201d she imagined quickly changes as she navigates sleepaway camp on her own, from homesickness and new friendships to a fear of the dark and challenges with her cabinmates. Along the way, Daisy learns to step outside her comfort zone and discovers that being a great teammate is about more than being the star player.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDaisy\u2019s story reflects the enduring spirit of American Girl while bringing a fresh perspective that feels relevant to girls today,\u201d said Pamela Velarde, Vice President and Head of American Girl<\/b>. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to introduce a character who is confident and capable while navigating the uncertainty that comes with trying new things, building friendships, and growing into who you are. Her story is a wonderful way to celebrate where American Girl has been and the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe 2027 Girl of the Year comes to life with an 18-inch Daisy Davenport doll, featuring green eyes and long auburn-red hair with bangs. Daisy arrives ready for an active summer in a sporty purple T-shirt, dark blue pleated denim skort, purple tennis shoes, and striped socks. The collection includes fashions & accessories to play out Daisy\u2019s Camp Gowonagin explorations:<\/p>\n
