It was awhile ago, but I remember watching Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. It really was transformative because of the ability of one person, who used her fame to promote literacy for chidlren. To this day, I can recall that Dolly Parton became involved with children and reading, because of her father, who was illiterate. It was a painful experience growing up for her and knowing that her father couldn't read that brought about this idea. Though she could not have children of her own, Dolly's love for children also aspired this project to come true.
