I make dolls, which is not a heroic profession by any means. But recently I was asked to make a doll for a little girl who is a true superhero.
A mama contacted me and asked if I would make a bunny doll with one eye for her two-year-old daughter who loves animals and lost her left eye to cancer.
The girl had started to notice that she was different and her sweet mama read articles about how finding a doll who matches how a child looks can be helpful and therapeutic. She wanted her daughter to have a doll that looks like her and only has her right eye.
To date, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to create something so tender and meaningful. So here is the adorable little girl on her third birthday, hugging her one-eyed bunny who is just as perfect and beautiful as she is.
My favorite part of this photo is how she is wearing her Wonder Woman nightgown. It perfectly represents the strength and courage of this little superhero.
