A little piece of Jena-Marie traveling the world with some of her favorite people.
Her journey continues through the places we go and the memories we share.

Some people leave behind memories. Dolly Parton leaves behind a world of readers.

Kids Need to Read joins children, families, educators, authors, and literacy advocates everywhere in remembering a remarkable champion for books and the belief that every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading.

Dolly understood that a book can be more than a story. It can be a doorway to imagination, a source of comfort, a spark for a dream, and the beginning of a lifelong journey.

Her generosity put millions of books into children’s hands and helped generations discover what is possible when you open a book.

Her story may have come to an end, but the stories she helped place in children’s hands will continue. 📚❤️

Thank you, Dolly, for helping the world dream bigger, one book at a time.
