So very sorry to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton. She was a great advocate for literacy and music and she changed so many lives. In 1995 Dolly Parton began her Imagination Library project, which sent an age-appropriate book to every child in the US every month until they were five. “My father could not read and write, and I saw how crippling that could be,” she explained. It expanded nationwide in 2000, internationally in 2006, and nearly 25m books are now distributed each year across the US, Canada, Australia, the UK and Ireland.
Bon voyage Dolly, you will be missed.
