Remembering Dolly Parton

Best known as a singer/songwriter, Dolly also wrote books for children and adults, celebrated Southern cooking with a cookbook and food line you can find in stores, launched her theme park Dollywood near her hometown, and donated her time, passion and funds to multiple causes. A fierce literacy advocate for children, her foundation Imagination Library, sends books to Pre-K children to inspire a love of reading.
