No one did more for Childhood Literacy than Dolly Parton. 🤍
As a FRYSC coordinator, I see every day how important it is to remove barriers for kids and families. Dolly didn’t just give children books — she gave them imagination, opportunity, a reason to dream, and the chance to have their very own little library at home.
She understood something so important: literacy starts long before a child walks into kindergarten. It starts in the lap of a parent, in a bedtime story, in turning the pages of a book and wondering what comes next.
What Dolly has done for childhood literacy is nothing short of extraordinary. ❤️📚
I’m so thankful that Kentucky children get to be part of her beautiful legacy — one book, one child, one dream at a time.
Thank you, Dolly, for helping us put books in the hands of children and hope in their hearts. 💕📖✨
