This inspirational and dazzlin' story of Dolly Parton--noted singer,
songwriter, and humanitarian--follows her rise to fame, from her
beginnings in East Tennessee to performing to thousands at the Grand Ole
Opry in Nashville.
Dolly is a little girl with a BIG voice. Music fills Dolly's heart so
plumb full she has to let it out! She'll even sing to her cornhusk dolls
or a pen full of pigs. She makes her own drum from a pot and her own
guitar from a broken mandolin. But what Dolly dreams of is performing
for a real audience--people who would hear her sing, and applaud!
And when she gets her big break at age ten, the soul-singin' and
big-dreamin' Dolly discovers she's scared to sing on stage in front of
all those people. Will she summon up all of her courage and make it to
the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville? Young readers will learn
about Dolly's early history, her endless creativity, and her plucky
perseverance in this entertaining picture book that's perfect for fans
of all ages.
