love this! Congrats! Because we live in Tennessee I think our child gets a book a month until she's 5??? I'll never forget being in the hospital here in Nashville, recovering from birth with my brand new tiny newborn, and a rep from the Imagination Library coming by to give us our first book and sign us up. Our daughter is now 3 1/2 and we get so excited to see what book is in our mailbox every month. Dolly truly is an angel on earth.
OMG, this is the best news all around! You having lunch with Judy Blume! Dolly Parton and all of her amazingness and 800,000 copies! Holy moly! I'm thrilled for you and for all those kiddos!
HOW WONDERFUL!!! I got my picture taken with Judy Blume as she was signing a book for me, and I keep a copy on my desk. I would not be the person I am today without her. I read my original copy of Margaret so many times that the covers fell off and the pages started coming out.
Books are so important--as Dolly demonstrates! I have a friend who works for her, and she only has good things to say about the experience.
Many years ago my daughter and I spent several weeks with Judy Blume when we worked with her on the TV movie of Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great. She was and is just as gracious and warm as you describe. We continue to stay in touch with her from time to time. What a privilege to know her.
Yes yes yes 100% yes to this. I owe Judy Blume for so many happy magical hours of my childhood spent with her books. Congratulations on Dolly picking your book for her program!!

A reason to live in TN!
One of few! 😜
This is wonderful -- and thank you for sharing about Dolly Parton's incredible generosity. Congratulations to you, too!
Oh, the absolute envy of spending an hour in the presence of the great Judy Blume! Thanks for sharing (and letting the rest of us live vicariously).
You and your emails are wonderful. To have met Judy Blume is so amazing.

Oh my goodness -800,000 copies ordered from DOLLY! So wonderful.
Is “YAY!” even more effusive than a simple, “Congratulations,” because this is so cool :)

Discovering what book Dolly has sent my toddler is such a highlight each month. Hope we get yours soon!
This made me smile and laugh out loud. Thank you for your words, I’m always so happy to read them!
Wow! A dream!
