You Probably Know Her Best as Julie Andrews, Actress

You recognize her as Mary Poppins, Eliza Doolittle, and The Sound of Music's Maria, but there's more to Julie Andrews than her wonderful voice and her great talent as an actress. She's also a writer, an author of children's books as well as an advocate for children's literacy.

Julie began writing children's books over 35 years ago as a result of a game she played with her children. After the first one, she liked it and, happily for all of us, has continued writing.

Many of her children's books are co-authored with her daughter, Emma. Several have been best sellers. Some have become classics.

Julie's books are featured below. If you love Julie Andrews and if you enjoy reading, we think you're really going to love Julie Andrews Edwards, the author.

Julie is a wonderful advocate for children's literacy.
