"HERO WITH LOVE"

What a true honor and very proud moment in my writing career to write a music review of one of my lifes heroes. Having the moment to hear this wonderful album and what a tremendous message throughout Dolly Parton shows and expresses her love,compassion, and her tremendous gift of song in this amazing and wonderful and heartfelt music album for children.

After five decades of providing her wonderful gift of song Dolly Parton comes around again with her latest project called "I Believe In You". Dolly always seems to sing from her heart and with this album she honors all the children and in her words "Coat of Many Colors" this is what her message is throughout this wonderful album. She starts out the album with a song called "I believe in you" and where she shows a very positive message of hope for those that you can make it whatever situation you're in. In this collection. Dolly conveys her beautiful message of true love and with the song "Coat of Many Colors" she expresses this very well. The next song sends her eternal message to all the children that they can always work together and help each other. With the next track called "I am A Rainbow" and Dolly brings so much happiness and joy to make all a happier place through her beautiful vision and lyrical content. The expressive abilities she just make you really happy. The song called "I'm here" reinforces her continual message of knowing that no matter what happens in life "I'm Here" and I really as an adult brought her message to me and is really touching. "A Friend Like you" really expresses Dolly and who she is as a person and utilizes her singing and continual happiness and joy for all and is a fresh approach to children to reinforce their feelings. "Imagination" that Dolly nurtures the emotion that is in us all weather a child or adult where she lets you know that emotion is okay and you can take yourself away from the situation no matter how difficult the situation is. Dolly brings her level of happiness and joy and it is so apparent and vivid on this marvelous childrens music album. "You Can Do It" Dolly constantly lets all the children really know that they can do it, no matter who, what they are and sends a beautiful message to her younger fans. With the next song Dolly brings in her message of how we all contribute to a better place, With her song called "Responsibility" and uses her tremendous gift of song and sends her message to us all and throughout this album uses this as a teaching tool to children. "You Gotta Be" is is a fun song that has the sing a long and really has the way of getting all involved and having a fun. "The next song Dolly brings her message and addresses the issue of Bullying, and teaches her younger fans that "Makin' Fun Ain't Funny" and once again shows and teaches her message of how it feels to be bullied and it's not fun. "Chemo Hero" a wonderful song about those that suffer from cancer and relates to what each of them go through and now that's okay to be in the situation that they are facing. The song of "Brave Little Soldier" Dolly keeps her message of love and understanding and so much compassion for the children who suffer from whatever situation they are facing. With the last song Dolly reads the song "Coat of Many Colors" and Dolly expresses that no matter what you have even if you have nothing or in her case a "Coat of Many Colors" that meant so much to her because she understood that it's the love that created it and what a beautiful message to us all. Quite honestly this album Dolly just brings all the children together and with her wonderful messages of hope, love & understanding and compassion, and what a beautiful message to give us all. Thank you Dolly for your forever love & your messages that you present to all the children of the world with this amazing and loving album dedicated to making and allowing children to understand to have all the feelings that they come across in life and making them realize that their feelings are ones that are okay and just how to utilize them in a way that helps them and others along their lifelong journeys.
