Dolly Parton is the latest musician to have one of her songs become a book. Grosset & Dunlap, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, announced Thursday that it will release "The Coat of Many Colors" in October. The book is based on her classic song about her childhood in rural Tennessee, and will feature illustrations by Brooke Boynton Hughes and a downloadable song by Parton. Parton wrote her ballad 'The Coat of Many Colors' in 1971 about the "rags" her mother sewed together so Dolly would have a coat. She wore it to school, only to be mocked by her fellow students. According to the Associated Press, Parton said in her statement that she "carried the hurt from that day for a long time before it all finally came together in one frantic moment." She added that the song just wasn't about her own pain, but also that of others who shared their own experiences of being bullied.
