American Girl's 2021 Girl of the Year doll is Kira Bailey. The new doll, which debuted today on "Good Morning America," hopes to make a difference through wildlife protection and climate change. Kira is a nurturing and inquisitive 10-year-old who cares deeply for animals and the environment.
The new year meant the release of Joss Kendrick, American Girl's 18th Girl of the Year (and 20th doll in the line overall), and so I decided to take a look back at all of the Girls of the Year! The first Girl of the Year doll was Lindsey Bergman.

From Addy to Samantha: The Definitive American Girl Doll Ranking
- Addy Walker. To earn the top-top spot, you've gotta be a special kind of strong.
- Kit Kittredge. Kit rules.
- Melody Ellison.
- Felicity Merriman.
- Samantha Parkington.
- Julie Albright.
- Josefina Montoya.
- Molly McIntire.
While Julie's series and collection are officially tagged with the year 1974, her first book takes place in the fall of 1975 and none of the events in her central series take place in her given year.
At $95 for a doll and paperback book, the American Girl doll is pricey, but parents are willing to spend a bit extra for a well-manufactured doll.
Mattel dolls have American Girl stamped on the back of the neck. But if you have an older doll, there are ways to detect whether she is PM or a transitional doll. Only SIX historical dolls can be PM - Kirsten, Molly, Samantha, Felicity, Addy and Josefina.
The first three dolls were Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly, who had unique stories of their own: Kirsten Larson and her family are pioneers living in Minnesota in 1854. Samantha Parkington is an orphan living in New York City during the early 1900s. Molly's story is set in 1944, and her dad is a soldier in World War II.

American Girl doll hair is actually a wig, firmly secured to her head. It's similar to the high-quality wigs created for real people. Made out of a blend of mod-acrylic fibers of different colors and textures, it maintains styles well and creates a rich variation of colors just like on a human head.
