This copy belonged to Sara Lee Creech and is signed by her on the front free end paper. Sara Lee Creech is notable as the creator of the Sara Lee doll; a mass marketed black doll.Creech, a white woman, was a Georgia native who moved to Belle Glade with her mother in 1941, opened a florist shop ( Flowers by Creech), and helped found a local organization dedicated to the improvement of race relations. As the story is told, one day in December 19 48 Sara Lee Creech was returning to her car when noticed two black children playing dolls in the back seat of a Buick. The little girls were playing with white dolls. Inspired by the notion that black children should have dolls that looked like them, over the next three years Creech developed a black doll that accurately and realistically reflected the beauty of African-American children. The figurine was an infant with medium-brown skin made of vinyl, chubby cheeks, and deep, soft-brown eyes. She wore a yellow organza dress with white trim and a yellow bonnet and sold for $6.89. Her name was Sara Lee, and the dolls were featured in the 1 951 Sears, Roebuck and Co. Christmas catalog. Tucked into the book is a Kodak color photograph dated 1948 and featuring a red-haired woman who may be Sara Lee Creech. Modern Firsts First Edition Created by eBay Blackthorne ver. 3.2.146.0
