Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library releases 2015 book selection list for the United Kingdom.
Each year, the esteemed Gold Medal Book Selection Committee, a specially selected panel of early childhood literacy experts, is responsible for reviewing hundreds of potential titles for inclusion in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library UK. With the new year’s list curated, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is proud to announce the 2015 Gold Medal Book Selections.
“My commitment to kids has always been to deliver the very best books right to their doorstep and last year we put over 9 million books in the hands of children and their families. Of course, none of this would be possible without the contributions of these talented authors, illustrators and the hundreds of local partners who love kids as much as I do,”
said Dolly Parton. The list of selected titles include new and popular children’s books like: “Each Peach Pear Plum” by Janet & Alan Ahlberg, “Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy” by Lynley Dodd, & “Charlie and Lola: I am Really, Really Concentrating” by Lauren Child.

About Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library:
Since launching in 1995, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has become the premiere early childhood book gifting programme in the world by mailing over 66 million books in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and the United States. Currently, the programme mails over 820,000 specially selected, age appropriate books monthly to registered children from birth to age 5. In 2015, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library will mail over 9.5 million books to Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and the United States. Dolly’s vision was to create a lifelong love of reading, prepare children for Kindergarten and inspire them to dream. Recent studies suggest participation in the Imagination Library program is positively and significantly associated with higher measures of early language and math development.
