Day #11 ChiIL Mama's Holidaze 12 Days of #giveaways

Day #11  THURSDAY 12/13/12  WIN FIVE Great New Releases from American Girl.  ($55)

The gift of instilling a LOVE of reading is one of the best gifts ever.   American Girl books were the first series to spark a love of the written word in my reluctant reader, and as a mom and a writer, I was ecstatic that she went for such a great line of books.   

American Girl tops ChiIL Mama's Great Gifts List.  American Girl has an impressive commitment to literacy and philanthropy.  They publish an exciting array of books that get girls interested in reading and engaged with history.   And of course the dolls and accessories are adorable, well made, and so much fun to collect. 

Check back with ChiIL Mama for loads of great American Girl coverage.   We'll have all the breaking new for you about the new 2013 girl of the year after December 28th!   We'll have more author interviews, photo filled features, and giveaways, too.   We also have another Valerie Tripp video coming up soon, with excerpts from her wonderful brunch talk, a cafe birthday party feature, Kathleen Ernst's Chicago book signing video and stills, and more.
