There's so much to post about for the just-revealed American Girl of the Year, Lila Monetti, but I decided to start with her story!
"As the new girl on her gymnastics squad, Lila wonders if she’s good enough to make the Xcel Gold Team. When she gets the chance to go to horse camp, she finds creative ways to train for gymnastics and forms an unexpected friendship that boosts her confidence."
This is what the cover of Lila's journal looks like:
Stay tuned for more throughout the day, including a trip to the American Girl store in Charlotte for in person collection photos and a special surprise from American Girl to me!
The excerpt of her journal on the website implies that Lila's gymnastics coach is named McKenna! Do we think it's actually GOTY 2012 McKenna all grown up because that would be AMAZING!
