💛 Dolly Parton — 1946–2026
From growing up with very little in the Tennessee mountains to becoming a global megastar, Dolly Parton was, above all, a storyteller.
She told stories through her songs — of love, hardship, humour, family and hope — and then helped millions of children discover the joy of stories for themselves through her Imagination Library, gifting free books to children around the world.
What a wonderful legacy: a life spent telling stories, sharing stories and helping the next generation fall in love with them. 💛📚
