โญNew year, new book list โญ

The book list for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is updated every year, and includes some classic titles, along with many new titles!

The Blue Ribbon Book Selection Committee is a specially selected panel of early childhood literacy experts, who are responsible for reviewing potential titles for inclusion in Dolly Partonโ€™s Imagination Library.

Each book mailed is age-appropriate for the child receiving the gift. Inspiration and imagination are the overarching themes of books in our collection.

Are there any books your particularly excited for your child to receive in 2026? ๐Ÿ“˜
