Abigail R. ★★★★★

My daughter asked for it every night this week—the way the story ties to Dolly’s childhood makes the message about being proud of who you are really stick. The hardcover holds up well to her tiny hands, too.

Joseph L. ★★★★★

The illustrations capture the Smoky Mountains so warmly, it feels like a little piece of Dolly’s childhood brought to life for storytime. My kids sit completely still through every page, and the lyrics read beautifully aloud. This one’s already a bedtime staple in our house.

Amelia ★★★★★

My four-year-old asks for this one every single night, and the illustrations really capture the warmth of Dolly's Smoky Mountain story. The rhyming text flows beautifully when read aloud, and it's become a sweet way to talk about kindness with her.
