When Jenny of California was still a little girl, her parents let her pick out an American Girl doll. She picked one that had the same hair color and style as her.
“She looked like me and I felt there was a piece of me in her,” Jenny, 17, said. “You see yourself in a doll and it’s really special to have that connection.”

Over the past several months, Jenny has designed and sewn(缝制)cloth dolls for four local kids who have birthmarks, surgical scars(手术疤痕), or other physical features(特征). Jenny asked the kids about their favorite sports and hobbies. She also watched doll-making videos and attended sewing camp.
After she got her own sewing machine, she taught herself to sew blankets, skirts and clothes for the dolls. She designed her own patterns(图案)and figured out how to recreate the children’s appearances. It was important to her that the children recognize themselves in the dolls. However, their differences were not the most noticeable feature.
“I really value(重视)the beauty in little things,” Jenny said. “ Each of these kids is so special. I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and really enjoy their beauty. ‘Dolls’ can be different.”
