Growing up, I loved the American Girl dolls and clothes! I used to pour over their catalogs and make long lists of what I wanted for Christmas. Now that I'm older, I still enjoy looking at the dolls, clothes, and pets, but I also appreciate the confidence and creativity that is cultivated by playing with these beautiful and quality dolls.
We'd like to introduce you to
Luciana Vega, 2018 American Girl doll of the year. Luciana is the latest in American Girl’s long line of inspiring characters that encourage girls to think about who they want to be and how they want to make their mark in the world—no matter the challenges they may face.
In Luciana, girls will meet a creative, confident 11-year-old girl and aspiring astronaut who dreams of being the first person to go to Mars. And, while she has the skills and smarts to achieve her goals, she also learns that being a good leader and team player right here on Earth is the best first step.
Luciana Vega—a champion of STEM and a natural-born leader who puts her whole heart into making her dreams a reality. Luciana is a role model for today’s girls—empowering them to defy stereotypes and embrace risks that will teach them about failure and success as they chart their own course in life—whatever the goal.
Luciana’s world comes to life via a beautiful 18-inch Luciana
™ doll, featuring warm brown eyes, medium skin, and dark brown hair with a distinctive purple streak to show off her creative side.
Additionally, Luciana’s story is chronicled in a chapter book series written by Erin Teagan and published by Scholastic. The first two books, available now, introduce readers to Luciana, a young girl of Chilean descent with a serious science streak, who loves the idea of exploring new territories in space. After winning a scholarship to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, Luciana is thrilled to launch her dream of landing on Mars. But as she ascends from Space Camp kid to youth astronaut trainee, she faces many challenges that test her competitive spirit and self-confidence, and she must find the courage to embrace the unknown with bravery, curiosity, and wonder.
