Gabriela is American Girl’s 2017 Girl of the Year. We love how she uses music, dance and poetry to stand up for what she believes in. While I’m not a fan of the new packaging (it’s not as heirloom-quality as it used to be), I think this is the first American Girl doll we’ve ever had who’s come with hair accessories — so fun! Gabriela’s matching PJs help Miss Q feel even more connected to her newest bestie, and she’s barely let her out of her sight since she arrived on January 2. Don’t forget to check out the book that tells Gabriela’s story, either.
My daughter would absolutely love one of these dolls! What we really like about American Girl dolls is that you can get hearing aids for them. My daughter would love to have a doll that has hearing aids like here. I also like that Gabriella comes with hair accessories, certainly would add to the fun!

My nieces and I love all the American Girl Dolls. We really love their stories, the different ways they inspire little girls, all their unique looks. My nieces really look forward to learning more about the stories of each doll, more so then the dolls themselves.

My daughter loves dolls. I could never afford an American Doll, so I got her a My life doll. Her name is Annie, it’s her favourite doll. I know she would love this

I have 3 yes 3! granddaughters who are all huge American Girl fans! We love learning all their stories and about their favorite clothes and pets. I especially like getting the accessories for them as gifts.

I like the American Girl dolls as they are very well made and poseable. The Gabriela doll is one my granddaughter would love to spend time with reading her book and interacting with her.

I would love to start a new tradition of buying my grand daughters an American Girl doll every year! Gabriela speaks to me in volumes because of her artistic abilities and of course the accessories!! ?

We are very excited about this new girl of the year doll. My daughter is mixed race & is the exact image of Gabriella. It’s very difficult to find a doll like this. Most are Caucasian with blond hair & blue eyes.
The dolls story is also a mirror image of my daughter. Like Gabriella and her speech impediment, my daughter Aliah suffers from Selective Mutism which means she is unable to speak in most situations and suffers from great anxiety.
Again, a lot like Gabriella, my daughter has learned to express her personality through non-verbal arts such as paint, dance and piano.
When we read the American Girl story about Gabriella Aliah said “they made a doll like me!” Melted our heart. We are saving up for this Girl of the Year. We bought the book already so if we win/buy the doll we will donate the book that comes with the doll to our school library.

My daughter has been too young for an American Girl doll up until now I think. She loves pretending to be a Mom, and giving her toys a great back story. I think now is the time for a well made, quality doll like AG!

Both of my girls have Isabelle (GOTY 2014) that Daddio brought back from a trip to St. Louis – 2 times the fun and they LOVE looking through the catalogue when it comes for what they could get next time he goes away. We’re still waiting on our new catalogue and I’m sure Gabriela will be at the top of the list of I want. 🙂

One of my daughters has an American Girl doll, and my other daughter really, really wants one – she can’t wait to get one, it is just too bad the exchange rate is so bad right now, we are having to wait to buy one. I have to admit, when my older daughter first wanted one I was not sure what all the hype was about. But now I am a big fan. In our house we love the stories that come with the dolls, and the additional books that can be purchased – we try to collect them all, they all have such good content whether it be the historical content or the more modern content, there is always something to learn and they are always interesting stories. We love how a lot of them relate to friendship, perseverance, problem solving etc. So applicable to the target age group. And the sets for the dolls have such great details, and the accessories and clothes are so varied there is something for everyone. And the matching outfits – too cute!!

My daughter has her own doll but my son doesn’t yet. He likes to play with my daughter’s but she doesn’t really want him too so I’d love to get him his own.
