A poignant story about a child finding her own inner strength, courage and resilience by drawing inspiration from the generations of women that came before her.

Whenever Isla’s mother brings out her small blue doll box, Isla knows she will hear the stories of the women in her family’s past. Touching on themes of immigration, war and the feminist movement, their lives show Isla the incredible things women can achieve, and the strength she has inside herself.

Inspired by the author's own family, this book echoes the timeless power of familial bonds and personal histories that instil courage and determination in each new generation. It underscores the belief that sharing family stories can foster a sense of belonging, and provide strength to face life's adversities.

What makes a strong role model for girls? Deborah Kelly found the answer in her own heritage, in the pages of history, and in the inspiring individuals who, despite adversity, discovered their own courage and resilience.The Doll Box is a testament to their stories, lovingly passed from mother to daughter, empowering the next generation of strong women.

Industry Reviews

"Deborah Kelly translated her own heritage into the dolls. She passed these stories onto her daughter. The book shares family stories fostering 'girl power' built on generations of self-reliance. Illustrated by Joanna Bartel, the beautiful end papers and floral designs supplement the story.."
