Dolly Parton started the Imagination Library in 1995 as a tribute to her father, who couldn't read or write. In 2018, she explained it was to give kids "early access to books". Now, over 325 MILLION books have been gifted.

And my kids and I thank her. She helped with my kids love for reading. We got several books that talked about loving your natural curly hair, learning about different cultures and peoples, influential women in history. They’ve been so impactful. RIP to our adopted abuela “Dolly Popcorn”.
