Let’s imagine (想象) you are in a doll (玩偶) store with your friend. The two of you want to buy a doll.

If your friend looks like my daughter, Bella, it is easy for her to see a doll like her in the doll store. Bella is a beautiful girl with blonde hair and big eyes. She could be the model of some dolls. But let’s imagine that your friend doesn’t look like Bella. Your friend is a little different. She may have no hair because of illness (疾病). Or she may lose her arms (胳膊) or legs (腿) in a house fire. Do you often see dolls like that in a doll store? Not very often, right?

I am Amy and I’m American. I make dolls by hand for special kids. My first doll was for Molly, a sweet girl. She lost one of her legs. I made Molly a doll like her. She really likes it and it makes her life easier. After that, I began to make dolls for lots of kids like Molly.

I love my job. I like making dolls for those special but lovely kids. It is a good way to show kindness. If people see Molly for the first time, they may ask, “What’s wrong with the girl? “But if Molly has the doll with her, they may say, “How cute her doll is! It just looks like her!”

Differences make these special kids feel terrible. It’s hard to tell them that they are different, but they are excellent. It’s not so difficult to give them a doll that looks like them. With a doll, they will know they are not the only one who looks this way. They are beautiful enough to be a doll.
