Book Pillows of Hope

10/15/2026

Fall Break means we have extra helpers for donation deliveries!

This morning, we stopped at IMPD Southeast to drop off their regular donation of book pillows. We walked in and heard a member of the community exclaim, "Oh, I remember those (Book Pillows) from when I was in the hospital! They're great!" 💙

Today, 9/25, we bring a special post celebrating literacy, courtesy of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. We encourage you to find time today to drop everything and read for a moment. At the link below, find your local Imagination Library to support and Give Like Dolly. 💗📚🎵

This is what it looks like to .

In thousands of communities across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland, children receive a free book every month through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Behind every book is a community of people who believe in the power of giving—our donors, volunteers, local partners and supporters who help make this program possible.

On September 25, Give Like Dolly Day, you can help us reach even more children and families in a community near you. Every gift helps us continue building a community where children can grow up surrounded by the joy of books and reading.

September is National Sewing Month! This month, we recognize the skill and creative expression that go into every home-sewn piece. The observance began in 1982 with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan to honor the importance of home sewing. He declared, “Tens of millions of Americans sew at home. Their efforts demonstrate the industry, the skill, and the self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation.” 🪡

Who taught you how to sew? What types of items do you like to sew?

Did you know? For the Grief Camp sponsored by Brooke's Place, each book pillow comes with a book that helps children process their grief. This book is provided by Brooke's Place and placed in a Book Pillows of Hope pillow.
