Meet Melody Ellison, an optimistic girl growing up in the 1960s who wants to lift her voice with others and stand up for what's right.

The 18" Melody doll has a soft cotton body, and her movable head and limbs are made of smooth vinyl. She has lifelike deep-brown eyes that open and close smoothly and realistic thick black hair. Melody comes in an authentic 1964-style outfit - a houndstooth A-line dress with a cowl collar, a bow on the chest, and bows on the side pleats - a ribbon for her hair, socks, and shiny patent shoes with bows on the toes.

Also included is the paperback book Beforever Melody 1964: No Ordinary Sound-A Classic Featuring Melody.
