14 posts | 14 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Dolly Parton lends the lyrics of her classic song "Coat of Many Colors" to this heartfelt picture book for young readers. Country music legend Dolly Parton's rural upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee provides the backdrop for this special picture book. Using lyrics from her classic song "Coat of Many Colors," the book tells the story of a young girl in need of a warm winter coat. When her mother sews her a coat made of rags, the girl is mocked by classmates for being poor. But Parton's trademark positivity carries through to the end as the girl realizes that her coat was made with love "in every stitch." Beautiful illustrations pair with Parton's poetic lyrics in this heartfelt picture book sure to speak to all young readers.

Parton‘s song “Coat of Many Colors” is paired with illustrations by Boynton-Hughes for a #picturebook about bullying. It‘s simple but the song lends well to a book. #BBRC #LetterC

LibrarianRyan I thought this was done well too 3mo

Parker didn‘t get her October and November books. I don‘t know why. I think maybe the hurricane messed up sending them or something. I emailed and asked about it. But this was her December #dollyimaginationlibrary book #dollyparton #freebooks #childrensbooks Parker really likes this one. It has the Spanish and the English.

Dolly Parton wrote a book about how she was bullied for being poor. So many lessons in a slim picture book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

bentchbites I love Dolly Parton, more bec of her philanthropy than anything, and finding out she has a book like this makes me love her more! 7y
Daisey I‘ve loved her song “Coat of Many Colors” for years, but I didn‘t realize she‘d also made the story into a book. 7y
8leagueboot The small budget film that they produced based on this book is actually really worth watching! 7y

The only way to read this was to listen to Dolly sing it to me while I read along 🎶💕 Great story about not having much, but not letting that define who you are as a person. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dolly Parton is amazing. https://www.npr.org/2018/02/28/589600374/dolly-partons-nonprofit-reaches-milesto...

"If you can read, even if you can't afford education, you can go on and learn about anything you want to know. There's a book on everything," she said. "So I just think that it's important for kids to be encouraged to read, to dream and to plan for a better life and better future."

OriginalCyn620 Love her! ❤️ 7y
AmyG I want her to read ME a book. 7y
