Run time: 22 min. | Canada
Country music legend and pop culture icon Dolly Parton has a new mission: introducing Canadian preschool children to the world of literature. Known to most around the world as a Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated country singer, songwriter and actress, Parton has introduced herself to a new generation known simply as The Book Lady. Since 1995, Dolly’s Imagination Library has been sending free hardcover books to children in participating communities—from the time they are born until the age of five—to promote children’s literacy. Some children even believe Dolly delivers the books herself while they are sleeping.

The Book Lady is a short documentary chronicling the launch of Parton’s Imagination Library in Canada and includes interviews with goddaughter Miley Cyrus, Keith Urban, Robert Munsch and Parton herself.
