Dolly Parton's family didn't have much money, but they had plenty of music! From an early age she showed a talent for singing and songwriting. When she set out to become a professional performer, her managers thought she should sing pop music, but what she loved was country — and she became a smash success! She used her fame and fortune to give back, becoming a reading advocate whose Imagination Library has donated 150 million books, and a philanthropist whose causes include animal welfare and the development of a Covid vaccine!
In this picture book biography from the Ordinary People Change the World series, kids will learn how Dolly Parton has changed the world by giving back to communities in need. Brad Meltzer captures how her traits — the same ones kids may have themselves — made her into a hero for people around the world. With appealing artwork by Christopher Eliopolous and a timeline and photos at the back, this is a charming introduction to a woman who's so much more than a country star!
