    IN THE NEWS

    Swimming is part of my daughter's life too, so when she plays with the Go! Go! Sports Girl swimmer doll it's fun to watch as both a mom and athlete. I love the message the Go! Go! Sports Girls dolls and books promote, and glad my active daughter has something like this to identify with and to inspire her.
