The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a looksee. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda.The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board

Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they
have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area.Megan Williams, a mother of
four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of .”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit
there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
