As partners with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, Preschool Promise mourns the loss of an incredible human who cared deeply about children, families, and so many people she may have never even known personally. 💔

Dolly Parton was an example of what it means to be a good human. Her legacy of generosity and kindness will live on. 🧡

We are personally grateful for the role she played in helping us carry out our mission and values and for the impact she made on so many lives. 🌟

Today, we mourn the loss of Dolly Parton, a beloved icon whose kindness and generosity touched millions of lives.

Through the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, she turned her love of children and reading into a lasting legacy, putting books into the hands of children and helping families create special moments together.

Here in Ohio, that legacy continues. More than 28 million books have been mailed to Ohio children through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio, giving children the opportunity to build a love of reading from an early age.

We are grateful for the incredible impact Dolly made on children and families, and for the gift she continues to give through every book that arrives in a child’s mailbox.

Her legacy will live on – one child, one family, and one book at a time. 📚❤️
