DOLLY PARTON DOING MOTHER GOOSE'S WORK

IMAGINATION LIBRARY MILLIONS OF BOOKS FOR KIDS

Move over Mother Goose, there's a new book lady in town and her name is Dolly Parton. That's right, the country music legend is not only known for her angelic voice and epic wig collection, but also for her philanthropy work with the Imagination Library.

For those of you who don't know, the Imagination Library is a program that provides free books to children from birth to age five. And let me tell you, Dolly is not playing around when it comes to getting books in the hands of these kiddos.

In California alone, millions of children have benefited from Dolly's generosity. That's right, millions. And let's be real, with the cost of living in California, parents need all the help they can get. Thanks to Dolly, kids are able to expand their imaginations and learn valuable lessons through the power of literature.

But let's not forget about the real hero here, Dolly Parton herself. This woman has not only blessed us with iconic songs like "Jolene" and "9 to 5", but she's also making sure the next generation is well-read and educated. Can we get a round of applause for this queen?

And don't think for a second that Dolly is just throwing any old book at these kids. Oh no, she hand selects each and every book that goes out through the Imagination Library. That's right, Dolly Parton is basically the Oprah of children's literature.

So next time you see a child with their nose buried in a book, thank Dolly Parton for her tireless efforts to promote literacy. And if you happen to come across a child who doesn't have access to books, direct them to the Imagination Library website where they can sign up for free.

In conclusion, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and we should all strive to be more like her. She's a woman who knows how to use her fame and fortune for good and we could all learn a thing or two from her. So go ahead and blast "Islands in the Stream" while you sign up for the Imagination Library, because there's no such thing as too much Dolly in our lives.
