A program founded by Dolly Parton has distributed over 300 million books to children globally. It began as a small initiative in East Tennessee to encourage reading. The program's impact is felt by families, including one where a child's confidence was transformed. A mother reported that her son's confidence changed after participating in the program.

Further details about the program's effects are available.
