In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Dolly Parton, the singer-songwriter and businesswoman.
Little Dolly 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. This moving book features
stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back,
including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a
detailed profile of the singer's life.
