Julie opens up a whole world of play with authentic styles from the ’70s:

• A crinkle-gauze peasant blouse over a turtleneck
• Two-tone bell-bottom jeans and butterfly screen-printed underwear
• Stylish sandals and a braided, beaded belt
• Long, straight blond hair with a single braid

smooth vinyl. She’s posable for hundreds of playtimes and can be
treasured for years to come.

Her six-book set comes in a protective slipcase and features Julie’s
stories of growing up in San Francisco in the 1970s. They include Meet Julie; Julie Tells Her Story; Happy New Year, Julie; Julie and the Eagles; Julie’s Journey; and Changes for Julie.

choices and friendship that still touch girls today. Author: Megan
