In the eyes of a child we are all one, ready to hold hands all across the world to make it a better place. Aleksandra, a little girl from Russia, shares this happy thought of universal friendship as she holds her special doll. She is the inspired creation of award-winning Master Doll Artist, Dianna Effner, and the second issue in her very first international doll collection exclusively from Ashton-Drake called Hands Across the World. It introduces you to Aleksandra and her friends, each one completely handcrafted and costumed to perfection.  They are dedicated to making the world a better plac--and you can help as a portion of the proceeds of this collection will be donated to children's charities in an effort to provide assistance to children in need.

Aleksandra is beautifully sculpted by the artist, and then crafted of artisan resin and painted by hand to capture her distinctive facial features, pinkish skin tone and realistic-looking eyes—a special talent Ms. Effner is famous for. She carries a stuffed doll--included FREE--that is dressed in a traditional Russian outfit.

Aleksandra is approximately 6" high.
