Niki Coffman is 38 years old. She couldn’t have kids because of her health condition. So she adopted (收养) a boy, Archer.
As a white mom with a black son, Niki wants her son to know how important it would be for him to make sure that he could see himself. She wanted to buy a toy that let Archer know that. Fisher-Price caught the mom’s attention with their “Little People” collection. However, she still couldn’t find a figure that looked like her son. So she wrote to Fisher-Price, first thanked them for the work they were doing and then left a P.S. that said something like: “If you ever decided to make a Little Person with brown skin and red hair, please let us know.”
Gary Weber, the Vice President of Design, reached out to her with a special message. “Your story has been shared with everyone who worked on the Little People figures,” he wrote. “You and Archer have encouraged us! We know that when kids play with Little People they are playing out scenarios (场景) they see in the world around them, and feeling like they are a part of that world is important.” Next, the company sent Niki and her son an amazing gift. A box full of Little People figures that looked like Archer turned up at their door!
Archer was excited after seeing the gift. “I got an Archer Army,” he said.
