Comment on Shame on you, UNICEF–stop the blackface German-language ads! by Leslie

Hi Michelle, I think these ads need to be seen, much as the images do on such sites as the Museum of Racist Memorabilia. There's power in the image, and as difficult as it can be to look at the ads, they need to be seen as a cautionary tale--one that illustrates the persistence of racism.

Hi! I can see this is a really old post. Did you ever get these books together? (I’ve just found your blog today, so I haven’t found any updates that you may have made yet.) A good place to ask for parent’s opinions on this is the Well Trained Mind forum. They are mostly American, but not all are (me being one of those exceptions )

Amazing how many of the commenters here don’t realize that this is a blog, not a doll maker.

Thanks Leslie. I’d love to show you my doll. I’m currently trying to stuff it with one hand, which can be challenging but I’ll get it! lol I’m also a quilter & currently donating quilts to children’s homes. I have no kids & thought this would be my chance to help. I just wish kids knew how much they can accomplish when they try. Thanks for commenting back!

Hi, love this site & it’s such a great idea. I was born missing my right hand & went to childrens hospitals to be fitted with a prosthesis every few years throughout my childhood & it was very scary. I’m designing a cloth doll missing her right hand & just thought that might be a great idea for kids missing limbs, & I saw a lot of those type of kids! These dolls could bring comfort as well as teaching kids they are just a “normal” as anyone else & can do anything anyone else can.

Comment on Multicultural dolls and ethnic dolls: Focus on Islamic and Muslim dolls (in a U.S. context) by Leslie

Hi Patrick,

I’m afraid there’s been some confusion–I’m not selling these dolls, just pointing visitors to places where they might find them. I wrote this post almost three years ago, and it’s possible that the dolls are no longer available from the vendor I pointed to.

Again–I’m not in the business of selling dolls. This blog post is for informational purposes only.
