Piper Whelan - Karito Kids New Addition

Meet Piper Whelan - she is the newest doll to be added to the award winning Karito Kids Collection. Piper is an 11 year old girl from Australia. She lives with her mother, father and little sister in Bondi Beach.

Piper is an avid surfer and life guard. Being outdoors so much, Piper begins to see the effect that humans have on our environment. Piper takes it upon herself to educate others about how they can make a difference until one day she notices that the sea life in Bondi Beach is slowly dying. Her story is about her eco mission to help save the ocean animals from pollution.

Karito Kids have won over 14 awards including the #1 Toy of the Year in 2007. Every Karito Kids doll and book comes with a passport that invites you to log onto www. karitokids.com and experience the joy of giving to other children around the world who are not as lucky as them. Karito Kids band contributes 3% of the MSRP to Plan USA, a children's charity with whom the company has partnered.

In addition to Piper, the current global gals include Wan Ling from China, Gia from Italy, Lulu from Kenya, Zoe from New York, and Pita from Mexico. Each character has a unique personality and a hard cover adventure mystery book that allows kids to recognize that for the most part, no matter where you live, all kids are the same.

My eight year old daughter and I have enjoyed getting to know the Karito Kids. I love that my daughter is learning about other countries and the importance of charity by reading the adventures of each Karito Kid. My daughter loves the fun, spunky personalities of all of the Karito Kids. The books bring to life the personality of each doll - all of which are a wonderful role model.
