The Story of Barbie and the Woman Who Created Her – Book Signing and Q&A
Join us for a signing and Q&A with author Cindy Eagan for her new book “The Story of Barbie and the Woman Who Created Her” – a beautifully illustrated picture book about Barbie–the most famous doll in the world–and her visionary creator, Ruth Handler.
After noticing how her daughter played with “grown-up” paper dolls, Ruth Handler wanted to create a doll that would inspire little girls to use their huge imaginations and big dreams about their futures. While others told her it wasn’t possible, Ruth Handler proved them all wrong by creating the most famous doll ever. This beautiful hardcover picture book will inspire children ages 3 to 7 to believe that anything is possible—especially with Barbie!
Since 1959, Barbie has shown girls that they can live their dreams. From an astronaut to a chef to a president, she knows that girls can do anything!
