At the presentation Tuesday, Parton of course put her most fabulous self forward and shared some words. “I always like to say that 100 million books have led to 100 million stories,” she said. “I am so honored that our little program is now grown to such a point that we can partner with the Library of Congress to bring even more stories to children across the country.”

Previously, Parton has said that her passion for educating others stemmed from her family’s upbringing. “My daddy couldn’t read and write, but daddy was so smart. He could just do numbers in his head. But my daddy then after he was grown, he couldn’t read or write; he thought that it was just too hard to do,” she told CNBC in 2016.

“When I decided what I was going to do for a great charity, then I thought well I’m gonna do this: to get books in the hands of children, because if you can learn to read, if you can read, you can self-educate yourself.”
