  • Since launching the program in 1995, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library has given away over 200 million books to deserving children around the world. One of those children is six-year-old Rosie, who is blind, and received braille books from the Imagination Library. Rosie and her mom Liz share how Dolly's program impacted their lives, and Rosie sings "Amazing Grace" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with Dolly and Kelly!

    The Imagination library is amazing. I'm a single mom and after having my son the pediatrician suggested that I should sign up to receive free books up to the age of 5 for my son. He wasn't even a year old and was sent a new book EVERY single month. Month after month year after year until he reached 5. He received so many books. Miss Dolly Parton is an amazing woman!!!

    I grew up very poor and if I was lucky I got one book every year on my birthday. But at least half of those years we didn’t have money for even that and it hurt not having things to read. I loved to read and didn’t even have access to a library. So I absolutely love the imagination library. I wish some thing like this had been around when I was growing up because it would’ve made such an impact. That is exactly the type of work that I want to support. I absolutely love that Dolly does this. It just proves what an absolutely amazing, incredible, spectacular human being that she is. This is why I love her.

    Man talk about almost coming to tears. I adore Dolly and all that she does. She donates so much to charity. I think it's because she was raised
    up poor and not having much growing up and when she became famous, which she worked very hard to do, she decided to give to those in need
    She is an angel in disguise who was brought down from heaven. I'm not a big fan of her music, but I still adore her heart of gold.

    Dolly is one of the most beautiful humans, such a heart and such a way with people & she's so very humble and gracious (without letting anyone condescend to her. Check out her interview with Barbara Walters from days gone by, to see what I mean! Holds her own and doesn't take any b.s., but does it with such class, Barbara can't hide showing herself the fool she was trying to make of Dolly.

    I was absolutely appalled to hear that only 10% of blind children have the opportunity to become literate in braille. That seems like a complete and utter tragedy. Now I want to know what I can do to try to change that. My love of reading is so vastly important to me I cannot imagine anyone being denied the opportunity. It breaks my heart.
