Dream More




An inspiring new book by the legendary Dolly Parton, in which she draws on her childhood memories and astonishing career as she shares her personal philosophy on life.

The iconic Dolly Parton celebrates her extraordinary life and shares precious pearls of wisdom from over sixty years in the spotlight.

If I had but one wish for you, it would be for you to dream more.

When I was a kid, I used to put a tin can on a broom handle. I used to stick it down in the crack out on the porch of our old cabin and, of course, in my mind’s eye I was standing on a stage with my guitar, singing my heart out into this microphone and those were not chickens out there in the yard. It was my audience. That was no ragged dress that I was wearing. It was a dress all aglitter with rhinestones and it was made of the finest silk in my mind. So you have to stay true to your heart and to your dreams. – Dolly Parton

Inspired by her graduation speech at the University of Tennessee, Dream More is Dolly Parton's personal philosophy for achieving success and making the world a better place. Drawing on childhood memories and her remarkable career as a beloved singer, songwriter, actress and philanthropist, Dolly shares her wisdom from growing up in the hills of East Tennessee to becoming a global icon.

Full of heart, Dream More is a celebration of an extraordinary life and an inspiring reminder to dream more, learn more, care more and be more.
