Awhile back we had a mom and her kids in the store. One of the kids saw a picture of Dolly and exclaimed "It's Dolly!" She said her kids loved Dolly and had been regular recipients of books from Dolly's Imagination Library. But they didn't know she was a singer and an actress and a superstar -- they thought she wrote all the books and then sent them out to kids. They'd been corrected, but they were still pretty sure Dolly wrote them all. With all the gifts Dolly has given us over the decades, you can hardly blame them. Thanks for everything, Dolly.
