Need More Episodes! :)

My mother raised our family on The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and everything “Julie Andrews”-esq. Julie has helped create so many wholesome family moments and memories. … and this Podcast has expanded her reach into the next generation!

We happened across this podcast by happen chance, and it quickly became part of our bedtime routine with my preschooler daughter.

I look forward to holding my own daughter close and listening to Julie, her daughter Emma, and her granddaughter … to listen and share in their love of stories, books, words.

We wish there were more episodes (hint hint hehe) but we will continue to listen to the ones available on repeat!

Listening to this trio, you cant help but feel that same bond through the generations!

Love it does not even begin...!

I have always admired Julie Andrews. She does a fantastic job and this has definitely been no exception. I love the fact that she is telling stories with her daughter. Sharing books that you could find at the library or the store and inviting kids to interact as well as authors in the podcast. This podcast is absolutely fantastic! I would recommend to anybody who has kids or works with kids!
