We were invited to chat with Disney’s next BIG star – Kiara Muhammad who voices the starring role of Doc in the new animated series “Doc McStuffins” on Disney Junior. We love the concept of this new series because every child wants to talk to animals and even more help them. Doc McStuffins is a six-year-old girl who communicates with and heals stuffed animals and broken toys out of her backyard playhouse clinic.
What’s even better – in the story are little tips like getting rid of salami breath by brushing your teeth. Lots of fun and we think your kids will love her!
