Dolly Parton to Release Inspirational Christmas Book

Penguin Young Readers will publish DOLLY PARTON'S BILLY THE KID COMES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, a new, standalone sequel to Parton's New York Times bestselling picture book, Dolly Parton's Billy the Kid Makes It Big (Hardcover; 9780593755006; Ages 4-7; $19.99). Featuring Dolly's beloved god-dog and inspired by her song 'Comin' Home for Christmas', this hilarious and heart-warming tale about the true meaning of Christmas follows Billy the Kid, a French bulldog who has everything he could ever want: a place in Nashville, a great band, and even a cross-country tour. But when Billy's band is scheduled to perform at Barkafeller Center on Christmas Day, he must decide what matters to him most: fame or family?
DOLLY PARTON'S BILLY THE KID COMES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is also available as an audiobook, read by Dolly Parton. Listen to a sample here.
"I always love celebrating Christmas with my family and of course my god-dog Billy," said Dolly Parton. "Since he's a big star now, he deserves his own holiday special! Using my 'Comin' Home for Christmas' lyrics, I wanted to tell a story about the importance of family and friends, especially during the holidays. I hope this is a book families will be excited to read every year for Christmas."
Parton's previous children's books include Coat Of Many Colors (1994) and I Am A Rainbow (2009). In 2023, Parton introduced the beloved new character Billy the Kid, inspired by her favorite god-dog, in Billy the Kid Makes It Big. The book was an instant New York Times bestseller and dubbed a "wholesome howl" by Kirkus Reviews.
Francesco Sedita, President, Penguin Workshop said, "Dolly is making sure that her beloved God-Dog Billy will never have a 'Hard Candy Christmas'. This book is pure holiday joy, and we hope that families will enjoy it for generations to come."
