About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Learn about legendary country musician, reading advocate, and philanthropist Dolly Parton in this picture book biography that’s part of the bestselling Ordinary People Change the World series!
I am Dolly Parton,
And I see the light that shines within you.
Dolly Parton was born in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Growing up as one of twelve children in a very poor and uneducated family, Dolly’s early years looked nothing like the stardom she would experience later in life. But a few things remained the same through it all—her positivity, her talent, and her faith.
Known for her beloved country songs, Dolly Parton was more than just a singer. Her Imagination Library has sent over 332 million books to children around the world. The Dollywood Foundation has decreased the dropout rate for high school students across the United States by offering scholarships and monetary awards. Dolly’s gifts were more than just her voice—her actions and advocacy for children’s education have impacted millions of people.
Young readers and Dolly Parton fans of all ages will adore this picture book biography that beautifully chronicles Dolly’s life in a fun and accessible way. Complete with charming illustrations and an inspiring message of staying true to yourself, this book is the perfect way to celebrate the Queen of Country and her contributions to the world of philanthropy, music, and literacy.
This friendly, fun biography series encourages kids to dream big by building character, kindness, and compassion—one great role model at a time. Included in each book are:
• A timeline of key events in the hero’s history
• Photos that bring the story more fully to life
• Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable
• Childhood moments that influenced the hero
• Facts that make great conversation-starters
• A virtue this person embodies: Dolly Parton’s love is seen in everything she does.
