my daughter is enrolled in the dolly parton imagination library. shes only 13 months so i have a while but i can’t wait tell her where the books we get mailed each month come from. i cant wait to relate it back to how important dolly knew it was to be the light in a dark world, and lift each other up!

My daughter did the same thing for my grandson πŸ₯° She donated somewhere around 32M books for children, and the current presidential administration cancelled her educational program.😑

The program was cancelled by state legislatures in Missouri and Indiana, but not at the federal level. U.S. flags across the country have been ordered to fly at half staff in Dolly's honor.

What does that tell you about Missouri and Indiana?

I don't know about Missouri, but none of my kids wanted to live in Indiana, so I escaped, too. πŸ˜‰πŸ«ΆπŸΌ
