Hi everyone! I needed to take a break from social media for the last month, but storytimes resume NEXT WEEK, so I knew it was time to hop back on here. Hopefully the algorithm will make this post show up for you! If it does, can you give us a like and share? I would love for the 20th year of Sunflower Music Therapy to start off full of fun, friendship, community, and of course music!

Thank you, Dolly.

For decades, Dolly Parton has helped put books into the hands of millions of young children through her Imagination Library, beginning at birth.

And those books represent so much more than learning to read.

In the earliest years, sharing a book is a chance for babies and toddlers to hear new words, explore the world, connect with the people who love them and build the relationships that help their brains grow. Long before a child can read the words on a page, they’re learning through every story, snuggle, point and conversation.

Inspired by her own father, who never had the opportunity to learn to read, Dolly turned a deeply personal experience into a commitment to making books more accessible to families, regardless of where they live or what they earn.

Her work is a powerful reminder that every child deserves opportunities to learn, connect and thrive from the very beginning.

Thank you, Dolly, for believing in babies.
