I LOVE Dolly Parton, and was excited to check this out for future gift ideas for my nephews and nieces. And while the illustrations are gorgeous and bright, it kinda felt like a let down as though there could have been more information, more story. I love the idea of this series, I guess I just expected more:

4 stars! Love Dolly and my kids are learning all about people in the world, famous and not so famous who help others. Dolly is one of them! Love it!

Dolly Parton is another great addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series. She is such a great role model. Dolly set up the Imagination Library for children in need and is a successful business woman and country/pop music singer. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my digital copy.

Dolly Parton is an American icon. Coming from humble beginnings, she followed her dream to sing and became an American Dream success story. This children’s book tells her story in an inspirational way for children to understand. Dolly stayed true to herself and children should stay true to themselves as well.

As an educator, I would r3commend this book to children to see that they can do big things even if they come from very,title material wealth. Everyone can make a difference.

Thank you to the Quarto Group and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book, but I wish the pictures of Dolly were more accurate. I don’t feel like they captured her actual look at all.
Like every book in this series, the illustrations were really cute though.
In my opinion, this was definitely not the best book in the “Little People, Big Dreams” series, but it’s still a great book for young children.

This heartwarming tale follows Dolly Parton's journey as she goes from singing on her porch at home to becoming a global star.

Raised in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Dolly grew up with eleven siblings and dreamed of becoming a singer. As she got older, she moved to Nashville, fell in love, and began topping the charts alongside a famous country singer. She eventually went solo and became the most popular country music singer of her time. She loved making people happy so she sought new adventures. To give something back to the kids that loved her, she set up a library that sent books to children in need. She also built a theme park and became an incredibly successful businesswoman. To this day, Dolly remains a legend and is loved and respected by many.

This book is great for teaching children to follow their dreams (as the title suggests). Dolly is a familiar face among people of all ages and is a true icon, particularly to those that dream of becoming singers. I loved learning about her childhood, career, and business ventures. The illustrations perfectly accompany the words and are incredibly visually appealing. They are also quite child-like which I think would go down well among the younger readers.

This is the 9th or 10th book I've read in this series and once again, it doesn't disappoint.

This book is a great biography for children. My 8-year-old loves this biography series and seems to be the right age for them. This one was a loving tribute to the great Dolly Parton and certainly showed how great she is. I love that it is short and sweet, but hits the major milestones and great things in her life that she is known for. This series is great to introduce children to biographies.

This is a great little biography about Dolly for the youngest of children. What a great addition to a library this will make!

I know Dolly Parton by name, for being a famous country singer, but I was far from knowing her. I really liked the book, as it always presents us with a simple and captivating biography!

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for providing me a free copy in exchange for a honest review.

The series is written with an intention of inspiring people through the experiences and life of famous personalities.

This is a story about Little Dolly who grew up in Tennessee in a family "as poor as dirt." She started performing at an early age, singing on local radio and television. After graduating high school, she moved to Nashville to pursue her singing dreams. Her managers wanted her to sing pop, but she followed her heart to sing and write country songs. Her heart was right—Dolly became a musical superstar, but she never forgot where she came from. She now uses her wealth to give back to people, children, and animals in need.

Babies and toddlers will love to snuggle as you read to them the engaging story of this fascinating musician and will also enjoy exploring the stylish and quirky illustrations of this sturdy board book on their own.

This series is entertaining and well written

Dolly Parton is someone I didn't know much about but after enjoying watching her musical 9 to 5 last year, I was intrigued to read this book to learn a bit more.

The book is very easy to read and much like the rest of this series is inspiring for children to see how you can achieve you're dreams and make a difference in the world. I was quite surprised to see how she rose to fame but it was lovely to see how she valued everyone that helped her get there and always stayed true to herself. I particularly liked the line that said about how everyone thought the way she presented herself was too much but she was happy and so would continue to dress in that way. I think this is a very empowering statement for children, we don't all have to change because of others judgements.

The illustrations in the book are beautiful and have a hand drawn feel to them which makes them look and feel very natural. This goes perfectly with the country feel to the book. As the book came to an end I thought the biography style ending was perfect to go over what was read in the book and give a bit more information.

This is another great book to the series and perfect to inspire children to aim for their dreams and always stay true to who they are.

Another super cute look into the life of someone who is really well known but who I didn't know much about.

The illustrations are lovely again and I like the point made about how she dressed for herself but her songs were still full of deep and heartfelt meaning.

Being born in Germany and long after Dolly Parton was in the charts, I only knew her by her reputation earned through her looks, which now feels very superficial to me. Which puts me in the situation of knowing what this person is famous for, somehow, but not any details at all. So yet again, this picture book series for children taught me something, and due to the further reading suggestions I could learn even more.

I didn't know that Dolly Parton's music deals with being a woman in an area where this side of the coin is mostly ignored, or had been at that point in time. My prejudices have been adressed and need re-evaluation, that's for sure.

Again, would recommend this book for small and big folks.

I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Dolly Parton is such a legend, and this beautiful picture book about her life was a great introduction to her life. The illustrations were simple, but beautiful, and I loved how the book highlights Dolly’s charity alongside her successful career. This was a happy and uplifting read.

I love the current trend of picture book biographies and this is one of my favorites. The story is highly engaging and well-written. The illustration style matches both the book and Dolly Partons personality. A great addition to any library!

Dolly Parton is the newest to be spotlighted in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Dolly Parton is a singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and overall country icon. This book highlights her start with Porter Wagoner, her collaboration with Kenny Rogers, and her deciding to open Dollywood! Dolly Parton has such an interesting life and I do wish the book delved a bit deeper into her story, but I understand why they left certain parts of her story out.

Daria Solak illustrates this installment and does an fantastic job. Solak's art style was so fun and her art definitely further helped tell Parton's story. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

A new addition to the brilliant (and critically-acclaimed) series, Little People, Big Dreams .

A few of the books in this series really stand out for me: I love Rosa Parks, Frida Kahlo and Anne Frank, for example, and very much enjoyed the David Bowie version. Also a musical icon, Dolly Parton and her story are fascinating to me.

Growing up near the Great Smokey Mountain in East Tennessee, Dolly was destined for stardom. She came from a poor family with eleven brothers and sisters but her life was rich in love and musical influence. Soon after graduating high school, Dolly moved to Nashville and began her life in music. What I love about this book is that it also pinpoints Dolly's success in business and her kind heart, paying tribute to her Imagination Library initiative to give books to children in need across the world. This book covers Dolly's fifty year career but is still presented in a way that is very appealing to children and young people.

The illustrations are adorable and I love the story; one of my new favourites!

I love the books in this series and I couldn’t wait to read this one on the fabulous Dolly Parton!

I love that these books give an insight in to the back stories of some of the most influential people in the world. The Little People, Big Dreams series is one I always look out for.

I love Dolly and think that she is an incredible lady, I did know most of the things mentioned about her in the book, but for me it didn’t really show her full personality which is what makes Dolly Parton so remarkable and special. I really enjoyed it, 5 stars from me, very highly recommended!

This is part of a series that I have grown to love, and they just seem to get better with each book. This Little People Big dreams book about Dolly Parton gives the perfect amount of information for a young reader. I love the simple, but not simplistic text and the back matter is very helpful for those curious minds that want to know more. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this brand to purchase for my library.

Fun book for children about Dolly Parton! I loved the colorful illustrations and the author does a great job of succinctly summarizing her life and impact, including her musical career and desire to help children. That being said, the text was a little stilted. I think parents who are Dolly fans will really enjoy reading this one to their kids!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this ARC.
