Dolly Parton's love for reading and learning led her to start this program in her hometown of Sevier County, Tennessee. She wanted to give back to her community and help kids develop a love for reading, just like she did when she was a child. It's amazing to think that this small act of kindness has snowballed into a global movement!
But how does it work, you ask? It's actually pretty simple: every month, a new, age-appropriate book is sent to each registered child, from the time they're born until they start kindergarten. That's 60 books in total, which is like having your own personal library by the time you're five years old!
