😍 HEY THERE BEAUTIFUL: Everybody knows that old saying “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. It’s solid advice, for sure, but just imagine how much lovelier the world would be if we turn that saying around, and said instead, “If you can say something nice, be sure to say it.” There’s so much good in this world. Call it out when you see it, and watch it multiply. 💕

Reading the news 😩today reminded us of a page we published in Kazoo magazine no 16, “The Kindness Issue.” Hope it might inspire you in some way, too.

Dolly Parton wrote more than 3,000 songs & sold more than 100 million records, making her one of the bestselling female artists in history. Her talent was rivaled only by her generosity & wit. Of her big blond hair & flashy makeup, she said, “Who wants to look classy? Leave that to the classy people. I’m in a class of my own.” 💅

Indeed she was. She could have been a billionaire, but instead gave her extra money to help fund music programs, develop vaccines, & teach kids to read.

We love her most for her heart & featured her in our upcoming issue. She said, “You can’t just sit around and think of all the things you want to do. You’ve got to think of what you want to do, and then you’ve got to get out and make that happen.” She inspired us all.

Rest in Peace, Dolly Rebecca Parton. You deserve it.

ABSOLUTELY THRILLED TO HEAR played a small part in two-time Newbery Medalist and literary legend Lois Lowry’s new book, Building 903 (which comes out in Sept). The inspiration, she says:

——> “A few years ago, a children’s magazine called Kazoo asked me to do a 1500-word story for a young audience. The theme was “the future,” and I wrote about an 11-year-old girl whose elderly neighbor slips her a key to a cache of books. The child has never seen books before, so she shows them to her mother, and they’re very excited. Happy ending! That story lodged in my mind, and I turned it into something much darker and more complex.“ ‼️‼️‼️

We include an original short story by an award-winning author in every issue. Lois Lowry’s story appeared in the now-sold-out Kazoo magazine no 26, The Future Issue. So if you have it, it’s a collectible! 🏆 You can catch the full interview w on .
