“I didn’t realize, first of all, how many ways you could use a doll and how helpful they could become. We underestimate what that can do for a child who never will walk into the store and be able to see themselves.” ????
The Story of A Doll Like Me
My name is Amy Jandrisevits and, in a nutshell, I make dolls for kids who will never see themselves on the store shelves. I like to think of doll-making more like a ministry or a mission than a business. Dolls are therapeutic, validating, and comforting. It is a human likeness and by extension, a representation of the child who loves it. I am a doll-maker who feels that every kid, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, medical issue, or body type, should look into the sweet face of a doll and see their own.
