American Girl Welcomes Z Yang!

May 1, 2017 By Ashley 8 Comments

A few months ago American Girl announced they were unveiling more character options on 2017 in response to us, the fans. We wanted more contemporary characters that represented diverse backgrounds, interests, and experiences. They started with Tenney and Logan. And now, American Girl Welcomes Z Yang! Susie, Z for short, is a creative young filmmaker who loves staying connected with friends and sharing her life on her vlog.

Through Z, girls get to learn more about this creative young filmmaker who loves staying connected with friends and sharing a good story through her stop motion videos. My daughter is excited about Z because she is starting to get more into writing her own movies and wanting to film them. She always is busy creating something and wants to grow up to be a filmmaker.  

Z’s Story

The books will introduce Suzie โ€œZโ€ Yang and her vlog, Z’s Crew. Sheโ€™s taking a shot at her dream of becoming a true filmmaker by participating in a film festival documentary contest. Outside of her comfort zone and under the stress Z loses sight of why she liked making movies in the first place. But, with a little help from her crew, she discovers that to be a real filmmaker, sheโ€™ll first have to be her real self.

    I love that American Girl keeps adding different dolls so every little girl can relate to one of them. They are so empowering.

    I live this doll! So great that little girls can see themselves in American Girl Dolls. I can’t wait for my little one to get a bit older so we can get her her very own American Girl Doll. I think I might even want one for myself! ๐Ÿ˜‰
