A dollar doesn’t buy much anymore. Except this 💚

One book. Chosen by a kid who gets to keep it. Give a dollar, give a book. Link in the comments.

Kids say their favorite part of being read to is spending special time with their parents. 💚

We see it every time families step onto the Buggie: little ones snuggled up next to mom, dad, or a loved one, picking out a new book together. Helping create these moments is what we’re all about.

💬 Tell us in the comments: Did someone read to you as a kid? Or do you have a favorite story time ritual with your own little ones?

Happy Give Like Dolly Day! 💚

Swipe to see a book that started its journey in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library 👉 Now it’s on the Buggie, ready for its next reader. Imagination Library books regularly find their way to us, and we pass them on so the love of reading keeps going, one child at a time. 📚

📚 Stick around for a book recommendation from one of our young readers! 💚

We asked kids why they love to read, and their answers melted our hearts. From favorite characters to big imaginations, these little readers remind us exactly why every child deserves a book of their own. 💚

What book would YOU recommend? Tell us in the comments! 👇
