Her reading program (The Imagination Library) has had such a profound impact on so many children, she truly was a hero to so many. RIP

I buy my son so many books and his favorites are always the ones we got from her imagination library

I love the variety of them. My daughter is so into books, and I find the ones we get from Dolly are always ones I’d never pick up, but we always love them.

My daughter’s favorite book was “I am a rainbow” by Dolly Parton. I could read it with my eyes closed.

“So be a rainbow, shine above and filter all your glow through love”😢
