Ms. Jevins tells you everything you need to know about McKenna and the launch that American Girl is planning in 2012!<br /> <br /><strong>Next week we are scheduled to talk again with Mrs. Mary Casanova</strong>, who wrote the McKenna stories. As we mentioned in a previous post, if you have a question you'd like to ask Mrs. Casanova, let us know! If we're able, we'll include your question in the interview (and we'll mention your name)!<br /> <br /><strong>What a fun year it's been with Kanani!</strong> It's going to be so sad to see her go! But we've LOVED the McKenna stories and know you're going to love her and her friends as well!<br /> <br /><strong>We hope you had a very Merry Christmas!</strong> Have a great finish to 2011!<br /> <br /> <object data="http://www.i-leadonline.com/player.swf" height="24" id="audioplayer14" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="290"><br /><param name="movie" value="http://www.i-leadonline.com/player.swf" /> <br /><param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=audioplayer14&titles=Introducing McKenna Brooks, the 2012 Girl of the Year&soundFile=http://www.i-leadonline.com/GirlDollTalk/14-2012GirlOfTheYearMcKenna.mp3&leftbg=0xc71818&rightbg=0xc71818&righticon=0xffffff&lefticon=0xffffff&voltrack=0xffffff&volslider=0xe895cc" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> </object><br /> <img border="0" src="http://www.i-leadonline.com/PeopleAndProjects/images/rss-audio.png" /> <a href="http://www.i-leadonline.com/GirlDollTalk/14-2012GirlOfTheYearMcKenna.mp3" rel="enclosure=">14: Introducing McKenna Brooks, the 2012 Girl of the Year!</a>
