Producer
Julia Roberts brings the American Girl brand to the big screen for the very first time with this inspirational tale concerning a nine-year-old girl named Kit Kittredge (Academy Award nominee
Abigail Breslin) growing up during the Great Depression. Though the American Girls have previously appeared on the small screen in
Samantha: An American Girl Holiday,
Felicity: An American Girl Adventure, and
Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front, Kit's adventure marks the very first major theatrical endeavor for the characters created by author Valerie Tripp.
