You've likely heard of the performer Dolly Parton. But do you know
where this dazzling songwriter and musician draws her roots? As one
of twelve children growing up in rural Tennessee, Dolly was

talents. While balancing farm chores with schoolwork, Dolly never
lost sight of her dreams, composing her first song at age five and
performing at the Grand Ole Opry at age thirteen. With lilting
language and vibrant artwork, this childhood story captures the
unique gifts of Dolly Parton, while also honoring the measures of
her success: resilience, confidence, family, and kindness.
