Kelsey Chumney Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. You don’t even have to be underprivileged, you just need to be under 5 years of age and live in an area that has a local sponsor. Our public library sponsors one and it’s been such a blessing for our family during COVID. I used to take my little ones to the library a couple times a week, but now that it’s closed, they get so excited to get a new book of their own in the mail each month. The books are very good too.

I absolutely love the quality of her answers... the way she's answering the questions is indicative of someone who grew up in a different time. The way she speaks to the audience like she's telling stories to her kids or grandkids, making the answers thorough and honest and open and relatable... and there's NOTHING wrong with the way other, younger people answer these (brief, often funny, succinct), but there's just something so wholesome about her personality and the way she talks like she's genuinely thrilled to have the chance to tell you her stories. Love this absolute legend always!

Dolly Parton is one lady that I’ve always wanted to meet, and pray I have the chance to do so one of these days. I’m not even really a big country music lover, but I love her and her music. She has the most soothing voice, and her personality seems so kind and loving. Ms. Dolly Parton and Ms. Patti LaBelle seem like they have similar energies. Kind, loving, giving and maternal. To me Ms. Dolly seems like the epitome of what a TRUE Southern Belle is. The real definition of a Queen in my opinion. May God continue to bless this national icon and treasure. 🥰👑😍👑🥰
