I found two more pages on Amazon. Turns out Julie's nickiname is "Julu Bee". I didn't know that! And also, one of the pages says that Emma's parents split apart.
Hey this is also unrelated! I went to the Trademarkia website and I discovered this: it appears to be a circular silhouette of Kaya but it was trademarked last January. Nowadays we don’t have historical characters appearing in silhouettes like in the old days in books except for the American Girls collection with Kit, Kirsten, Addy, and Josefina. Here is the link.

@Admin Off topic but hoped to get your attention. I was just checking on the Disney princesses on the AG site. All the reviews are not golden. Wondered if you could investigate the AG responses to bad reviews?
i'm excited to see her story in a new way! :D
