Dolly Parton's Imagination Library making news around the world
From Grand Rapids, to Juneau, Canada to the United Kingdom, folks are talking about Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library!
In a recent Facebook post & Tweet, we told you about the most incredible "Peter Rabbit" cake crafted for a recent program launch in the United Kingdom and thought it would be fun to share this additional image. Even the book and its pages are edible, all made of sugar.
Often times we focus on one particular story and blog about it and we tend to do that as quickly as the stories come in. That said, in recent weeks we have seen an enormous influx of exciting and uplifting news coming in from all corners. So for this post we thought it best to give you a list of links to some of the most recent articles by location.

She said her daughter is so excited each month to receive her new book and the photo was taken minutes after the book arrival when the little girl grabbed her firefighter hat to read the story about a firefighter to the rescue! A lovely demonstration of how meaningful this program is!”
