Podcast – Interview with Julie Andrews
We are especially excited about today’s episode because we get to bring you a snippet of a past Summit presentation with the one and only Julie Andrews! Along with her daughter (and our friend) Emma Walton Hamilton, this duo has written over 30 books for children, including 9 New York Times Bestsellers.
Their picture books include The Very Fairy Princess, Dumpy the Dump Truck, The First Notes: The Story of Do-Re-Mi, The Enchanted Symphony, and Waiting in the Wings.
So, what started this fruitful partnership? Where do they get their ideas? What strengths do they each bring to their projects? Julie Hedlund is here to ask those questions and more.
Don’t miss this delightful look behind-the-scenes with a true creative icon!
