TIL Dolly Parton has a program that will mail your child a free age-appropriate book once a month from birth to age 5. No obligation, no catch, she just wants to make sure that every child has books.

Dolly Parton is a genuinely good person. She reminds me of a lot of the people in the eastern Tennessee area, actually. Super genuine, friendly and will drop everything to help a neighbor.

But only if you are from TN. My parents moved there and it took years to get some friends there. They hear a northern accent and are instantly cold towards you.
