This faith-based, special-edition playdoll is 18¾" tall, all-vinyl, and fully-jointed so she can be posed in many positions. Here hair is made of Kanekalon, the finest wig fiber in the world. In addition, this special edition Laylie Colbert doll has four other outfits designed to fit Laylie's time period and life experiences as discovered in the A Life of Faith: Laylie Colbert book, Laylie's Daring Quest.
Who is Laylie? Laylie Colbert is a bold and imaginative young girl living in South Carolina in the mid-1830's. An energetic and intelligent seven-year-old born into slavery, Laylie must keep a secret—she and her older brother Luke are planning an escape! When their plan takes them south to Roselands, Laylie meets sixteen-year-old Millie Keith, a Christian girl who helps Laylie understand a freedom more precious than any other. With this new discovery, Laylie's life of faith begins as she and Luke make their way north against impossible odds to New York City . . . and to true freedom.
Where does Laylie get her beautiful dress? While working at Roselands, Laylie’s friend Millie lets her choose a gown from her personal wardrobe. Laylie chooses Millie’s pink printed cotton party dress with ruffles and tiny ribbon flowers. A plaid sash ties at the back, and bows of the same ribbon adorn the sleeves. The Laylie doll also comes with lacy pantalettes, a petticoat, leather sandals, and her miniature black Bible.
Owning her own Laylie doll and reading Laylie's Daring Quest will introduce your daughter to an important part of our country's history and encourage her to take a closer look at the issues of slavery and freedom.
