I love to check out different non profit organizations on the Internet. Most of them have blogs which I enjoy reading. This morning as I was reading the blog of "Dolly Parton's Imagination Library" I came across this story that brought tears to my eyes. I thought that maybe you would like to read it too.
DREAM MORE, LEARN MORE, CARE MORE, BE MORE SOCIAL SHARING Friday, September 18, 2015 Love, Loss And The Comfort A Book Can Bring A touching, true story of one young brother’s loss of a younger sister, and how he finds comfort in her Imagination Library boo

I tried again and got thru this time. Yes, a very sweet story. Having lived a few miles from Dollywood, I'm very familiar with this project of her. Our neighbor back then had three little ones and they got the books - they had a yard sale and believe it or not she put all those 'free' book out for sale. I thought that was horrible. She should have donated them if she didn't want them.

Free books and she was trying to make money on them, how sad to feel you have to do that. @AbblyGreenhill

Glad that you are familiar with this site. What a greedy person that lady was.

I read the story and it was heartwarming and I had no idea about this Dolly Parton Imagination Library but how interesting for your children.

@marlina I meant the children who read the stories or who have the stories read to them.

I think that I've read that before. It really hits a nerve with me as we've lost our daughter too, and our son was left an only child as I wasn't able to have any more children.

It would be so sad for you to read this story. You must have really felt it deep in your heart.

Wow that was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. How heart warming that her brother loves to receive the book and take them to the cemetery to read to his sister. That show how much he loved his baby sister and how much he misses her.

It is a great project and can be done in many countries with their languages.
