Hardcover – Picture Book
Little People, BIG DREAMS – Volume 28

This charming picture-book biography introduces young readers to Dolly Parton — the legendary singer, songwriter, storyteller, and humanitarian who built her dreams from the ground up.

Dolly grew up in the mountains of Tennessee, where music was part of everyday life. Even though her family didn’t have much money, her imagination was bright and her voice was strong. She loved singing anywhere she could — on porches, at church, on local radio — and she dreamed of sharing her songs with the world.

After high school, Dolly moved to Nashville to chase that dream. Even when others tried to shape her into something she wasn’t, she stayed true to herself and her own sound. Her courage and creativity eventually made her a beloved country music icon.

But Dolly’s story is also about kindness and giving back. She has shared her success by helping children learn to read, supporting families in need, and caring for animals and her home community.

With playful, colorful illustrations and clear storytelling, this book celebrates the power of staying true to your voice — and using it to spread love.

Includes:

• A biographical timeline
