Portraits of American Girlhood is a wonderful curriculum based on the American Girl books and is written by Cindy Sotelo of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I am in no way affiliated with Portraits of American Girlhood. I began this blog as a safe way to have lots of great resources that go along with the books and curriculum in one place, reducing the time for parents to look for information on-line so they can spend more time learning together as a family.

I began this blog in June of 2010 and it will probably take me a year to complete it. I hope that you find it helpful; however, if you come across any links or videos that are questionable or no longer working, please leave me a comment so I can make the necessary changes.

Here are the American Girls we have studied so far...

    Just letting you know that all but the last Thomas Edison videos are unavailable. We are VERY much enjoying using your blog as a resource for our journey with the American Girls!

    Thanks so much for letting me know the Thomas Edison videos aren't available! I'll have to see if there are some new ones I can add. ;-)
