Dolly’s Imagination Library has given away millions of books to kids and “was inspired in large part by a man who couldn’t read: her late father, Robert Parton. One of 15 brothers and sisters growing up on a farm in rural Tennessee, he was needed in the fields. There wasn’t much time for school.”
“When I was first starting Imagination Library, I had to talk him into helping me, but he loved it … especially when he heard kids call me the Book Lady,” Dolly said. “Deep down I think he was prouder of me for that than anything I ever did.” tucson.com/life-enterta...
