This woman is part of the reason I fell in love with reading. She has a program for children in Tennessee that gives us a free book every month until we’re five. As a little girl who’s parents didn’t have a ton of money at the time, Dolly’s books were an absolute treat.

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.

At the height of the pandemic when many nauseating celebrities were complaining that they were bored silly in their multi million dollar mansions, Dolly Parton was telling bedtime stories to kids online for frazzled and stressed out parents. She also donated one million dollars to the research and development of the Moderna vaccine! She's truly a compassionate humanitarian who doesn't do these any of these things for any type of recognition or praise...but simply because she has a heart of solid gold.

[@rekyu3d541]

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. 🥰👑😍👑🥰

Dolly is an inspiration because she doesn’t try to hide her country roots or her faith. She’s kind (not the radical kind of kind😂) and non judgmental because she refers to her faith and knows that it’s not her role or place to pass judgment. I admire her for that especially in a world that has forgotten that kindness has nothing to do with other people and everything to do with you.
