Let's imagine(想象) you are in a toy store with your friend. The two of you want to buy a doll(玩偶) for play.
If your friend looks like my daughter, Kalea, it is easy for her to buy one like her. Kalea 是一个留着金发有着大眼睛的漂亮女孩。 In fact, she could be the model(模板) of some dolls. But let's imagine that your friend doesn't look like her. She is a little different. She may have no hair because of illness(疾病). Or maybe she loses her arms(手臂) or legs(腿) in a house fire. Do you see dolls like that in the store? Not very often, right?
I am Amy from America. I make dolls by hand for special kids. My first doll was for Macey, a sweet little girl. She lost one of her legs.我花了两天的时间制作了一个像她的玩偶。 She really liked it and it made her life easier. After that, I began to make a lot of dolls for kids like Macey.
I love my job. It is a good way to show kindness. If people meet Macey for the first time, they may ask, "What's wrong with the girl?" But with the doll, they can say, "How cute her doll is! It just looks like her!"
Differences make kids feel lonely(孤独). It's hard to tell special kids that they are beautiful when we never give them anything that looks like them. With a doll, they are happy with what they look like and they know they are beautiful enough to be a doll.
