AAP President and CEO Maria A. Pallante on the Passing of Dolly Parton

“Dolly Parton lived a magnificent life focused on creativity, compassion, and joy. In addition to her inspiring personal journey and singular reputation as a singer-songwriter, she was a widely read book author and reading advocate, dedicated to giving children their very own books to hold, read, and keep through her Imagination Library. Dolly was truly one of a kind and the publishing community will miss her tremendously.”
