TELUS has announced that Goodnight With Dolly, Dolly Parton’s series of Imagination Library bedtime stories for children, is now available on Optik TV.
Snuggled in her bed, Dolly Parton narrates ten inspiring childhood books aimed at bringing positivity, love, and hope to viewers during these challenging times.
The first five episodes are now available for free on Optik TV, with the remaining episodes being rolled out weekly for five additional weeks alongside Imagination Library, Dolly Parton, World Choice Investments, and Dollywood channels.
Darren Entwistle, president and CEO, said TELUS is thrilled to showcase legendary singer, songwriter and humanitarian Dolly Parton and her video series to Canadians.
“The first five episodes have already received millions of views and terrific feedback online, and we are delighted to bring Goodnight with Dolly directly to our customers’ homes through Optik TV,” Entwistle added.
“This is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while, but the timing never felt quite right,” said Dolly Parton. “I think it is pretty clear that now is the time to share a story and to share some love. It is an honor for me to share the incredible talent of these authors and illustrators. They make us smile, they make us laugh and they make us think.”
