We love Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!

What amazing books did you receive from Dolly Parton?

Happy ! It's a great day to grab a book off the shelf and nurture your child's love for reading. Reading aloud is a great way to bond with your child, enhance their vocabulary and prepare them for school success! (📸: Gordon S.)

One person, no matter the age, has the power to make a difference. Whether it's through small acts of kindness or bold ambitions, their impact can ripple far and wide. 🌟

There are young visionaries who are already putting this into action, proving that age is no barrier to making a profound impact. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻💡👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿.

One such visionary is an 11-year-old philanthropist on a mission to bring attention to and improve the lives of animals, from wildlife to shelter pets. 🦸‍♀️🎯🐾

Amelie Anastasia kicks off California Live's Cool Kids Series, sitting down with NBC LA's Jessica Vilchis to share her inspiring story, her new children's books (Fox Tales, Fox Tales 2, and Wolf Tales), how her stories have helped serve as a springboard for remarkable fundraising efforts to support animals nationwide, and her dream of opening a unique animal sanctuary called The Happy Place. 🦊📚📺🐺
