It's really hard to make it in the music business. But if you continue to be yourself, and practice, and find good friends, you'll do it.
That's what a certain dog musician named Billy The Kid would tell you. You can read about his ruff beginnings in the new children's book, Billy The Kid Makes It Big.
His story is written by someone who knows a thing or two about sticking to a music career: the one and only Dolly Parton.
The music star and writer talks with NPR's Melissa Block about writing for children, standing up to bullies, and why her program to deliver books to children meant so much to her dad.

I've long loved this lady. She has an amazing rags-to-riches story that can help but inspire the most jaded of us.
I'm also a big fan of her view on politics which is why she remains one of the most bi-partisan loved celebrities out there ... "I don't do politics".

I love her dedication to children in the form of books. Every child can sign up for her program to get one free on a continuous basis.
