Introduce your child to a piece of Shanghai with the Modern Littles Shanghai Girl Doll + Storybook. Each 32 cm doll is lovingly handmade from soft, child-safe materials and dressed in a playful, Shanghai-inspired outfit that nods to the city’s postcard-era charm. Paired with a beautifully illustrated bilingual storybook (English + 简体中文), this set invites children to explore cultural identity, empathy, and storytelling through tactile play.
Designed for daughters aged 4–7 (and anyone who cherishes keepsakes), the doll makes a comforting companion and a lasting memento of life in Shanghai. The storybook offers simple, heartwarming scenes and language that encourage early bilingual exposure and family reading time.

Why cultural representation matters: Play is how children make sense of the world. When children see dolls and stories that reflect diverse cultures, they gain a clearer, kinder understanding of identity, belonging, and difference. The Shanghai Girl Doll celebrates a specific place and aesthetic — encouraging conversations about home, travel, and cultural memory. For expat families, this doll becomes a tangible keepsake that honors the time spent in Shanghai and helps children link stories to place.
