Barnes & Noble Partners with American Girl For "Truly Talented You" Event

Barnes & Noble announced that it will be teaming up with American Girl to present "Truly Talented You," an event for girls ages 8 and up. The event will be held in all of Barnes & Noble's nearly 700 stores between March8 and 15, 2014.  Through activities, journaling and crafts, this free workshop will help girls learn to recognize, appreciate, and celebrate their own special talents. All participants will receive guidance American Girl's newest Girl of the Year, Isabelle Palmer. Isabelle is a dynamic, talented girl who loves dance and fashion design.

When Isabelle doubts her skill as a dancer, she uses her love of design to remind herself that everyone's talents are unique, and a person shouldn't compare herself to others. Participants will also receive an American Girl poster of Isabelle.

American Girl, a leader in providing top advice books for girls, developed the events using content from the Isabelle book series by award-winning author Laurence Yep and several of their advice and activities books, which have been hugely popular with girls and parents at Barnes & Noble.

"American Girl is dedicated to celebrating the potential of girls ages 3 to 12 with fantastic resources," said Sarah DiFrancesco, Vice President of Business Development for Barnes & Noble.  "We're thrilled to partner with American Girl on a nationwide event that will encourage girls to develop and celebrate their own special talents-and dream, grow, aspire, create and imagine."

Space and free promotional items are limited at this event.  Parents and girls interested in participating may contact their local store for details on how to sign up. Events are free and open to the public.  No purchase is required to participate.
