Julie Andrews Is Hosting Story Time On Her New Podcast “Julie’s Library” and We Are Here For It

Julie Andrews is an entertainer through and through. She may have become famous for her roles in Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music movies, but she has also authored more than 30 children’s books with her daughter. Now the inspiring actress and writer is sharing her love of books and reading in a new way. Julie Andrews is launching a podcast called “Julie’s Library: Story Time with Julie Andrews.” 

What to Expect from “Julie’s Library”

Award-winning writer Emma Walton Hamilton will join her mom on the “Julie’s Library” podcast, and the mother-daughter duo plan to read some of their favorite children’s books. The literacy podcast promises to be an immersive reading experience, as they bring the stories to life by including music and sounds. They’ve promised some special guest appearances too.  https://www.instagram.com/p/B_AjYH7glws/ While the podcast is designed for kids age 4 to 10 years old, I have a feeling this podcast will be a joy to listen to for young and older readers alike. Reading, as Julie Andrews says, is a family affair after all. As she told American Public Media:

“When I became a parent, I passed the love of reading on to my children… and our shared passion for the power of storytelling, literacy, and the arts remains fervent. It is our hope that the stories and ideas we share on Julie’s Library will provide family listening pleasure, inspire meaningful conversations, and be a trusted resource for literary enjoyment and learning.”

How to Listen to Julie Andrews’s Story Time Podcast 

“Julie’s Library” launches on Wednesday, April 29, 2020. Since so many people are staying at home right now, they decided to release the first six podcasts on launch day. Later this year, they plan to release even more story time adventures through “Julie’s Library.” The podcast is available through Julie’s Library Show website as well as other podcast platforms. On her website, parents can also sign up to receive book recommendations from the Dame herself. 

Here’s hoping they’ll be reading from some of their own books too on “Julie’s Library.” In our house, we adore “The Very Fairy Princess” books, and I can’t wait for Julie Andrews and Emma Walton Hamilton to bring them to life!
