Dolly Parton's Imagination Library logo with a locomotive coming out of a stack of books. Cover illustration for "When You Love a Book" with a boy holding a book with popouts of classic children's books: a little engine train coming out of a wild thing's sailboat, little red riding hood, if you give a mouse a cookie. Illustration by Heather Brockman Lee of a baby sitting on a rug holding a book that says "Hello." Confetti background for New Year's 2026.

This New Year's baby brought great news! "When You Love a Book" is part of the 2026 Dolly Parton Imagination Library and landing in mailboxes next month! May 2026 bring you health, happiness, and lots of book joy. Love, Kaz @heatherbrockmanlee.bsky.social #kidlit #kidsbooks #whenyouloveabook

Beautiful interview with librarian, Mary Lanni, about how a book is created, how it becomes a Dolly Parton Imagination Library pick, and how books inspire friendships and friendship inspires books. #kidlit #library #librarian #whenyouloveabook youtu.be/Oi9JbJHEZBY?...

"We Love School Librarians" Illustration of children sitting on a rub being read to by purple haired librarian. "With a book as a friend, you will always feel heard. There's someone like you looking back from each word." Cover of When You Love A Book with child holding up a pop-up book with classic children's book characters popping out -- a little engine that could, Red Riding Hood, a mouse holding a cookie.
