my dd is 3 years old and it starting to want to comb hair on her dolly. she has bald black, white and brown ones. I now want to get her one that represents her own beauty and not those of other races alone.
But can I find one? the 'black' dolls all have straight hair and caramel complexions and caucasain features. As a minority living in a country where there are so few positive images out there of black women I would like her to have this one little gift that I was also denied growing up in 1970's britain. I have managed to source books with images of black princesses etc but no toys/dolls. Does anyone of anywhere I can go for these?
