American Girl Announces Her 2025 Girl of the Year

Idris Bevan September 12, 2024

American Girl announced its 2025 Doll of the Year on “Good Morning America” and her name is Summer Mckinny!

Fittingly, Summer was named after her birthday, which falls on June 21 (the first day of summer). Summer’s story includes loving dogs and being a baker, and using her entrepreneurial skills to combine those loves into a dog walking and treat business called Waggy Pup Tails. She even donates a portion of her profits to the Four Paws animal shelter, where she volunteers and has adopted her own dog, Crescent.

In her quest to gain more business experience, Summer attends a local young entrepreneur fair in the hopes of winning a cash prize to help the animal shelter even more.

Not only is Summer a bright role model, but she also has blonde hair and blue eyes. There are also lots of cool accessories that children can use to play out her story: A small white Crescent plush dog and various accessories can be added, as well as a collection of Summer’s baking accessories, a treat cart, Summer’s cat, fettucine and various outfits for different activities.

Summer and her animal companions and accessories are now available to purchase on the American Girl website – find them below.
