Dolly Parton has given more than 300 million books to children through her Imagination Library.
It started because her daddy couldn’t read or write.

Dolly grew up in the mountains of East Tennessee, where poverty often meant children didn’t have the same opportunities as others. She knew those children weren’t less intelligent or less capable. They simply needed the same opportunities.

So she gave them books.

And what started in the Smoky Mountains grew around the world.

More than 300 million books later, Dolly proved something every educator should understand:

A child’s circumstances should never determine how we see their potential. Sometimes they just need someone to give them the opportunity to show us what they can do.

We're heartbroken to share the passing of country music legend, cultural icon, and champion of literacy Dolly Parton (), at the age of 80. Her father never learned to read, so in 1995 she founded the Imagination Library in his honor, mailing free books to children every month. He later told her it was probably the most important thing she'd ever done. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you. 🦋
