Set to embark on a summer adventure at Camp Gowonagin (the same camp Molly McIntire once visited), Daisy faces a solo journey when her best friend can’t join her, forcing her to confront fears, embrace teamwork, and forge new friendships—all while celebrating everyday girlhood. With American Girl marking its 40th anniversary, Daisy’s story honors the brand’s roots while reinforcing its mission: helping kids see that confidence comes in all shapes, even when you’re nervous. She’s not the first Midwest girl in the lineup—Molly, Kirsten, Kit, and Lila have all come before—but she’s the first from Wisconsin, tying her story directly to where it all began.
