$18.99 US / $25.99 CAN

This picture book biography explores the early life of film star, theater performer, singer, and published author of children’s books Julie Andrews, and how she found her voice and her love of music.

“A beautiful and lyrical celebration of my mother’s legacy that hits all the right notes.” –Emma Walton Hamilton

Long before she starred in movies like The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, and The Princess Diaries, Julie Andrews was a little girl struggling with her parents’ divorce and the ravages of World War II. To comfort her and fill her time during the London Blitz, her stepfather taught her to sing, and Julie found her voice-one of the most extraordinary singing voices of all time.

Lyrically told by Julie Hedlund and lushly illustrated by Ilaria Urbinati, this is the story of how Julie Andrews became one of the world’s most beloved performers.

Author/Illustrator Bio

  • Julie Hedlund is the award-winning children's picture book author of Over, Bear! Under, Where? She spends much of her time inside her own imagination, and when not writing or reading, she enjoys playing in the mountains near her home in Boulder, Colorado. She lives with her two teenage children and their high-maintenance hound dog. You can find out more about Julie at juliehedlund.com or follow her on Twitter @juliefhedlund.
  • Ilaria Urbinati is an illustrator who lives in Italy in a nice city near the mountains called Turin. Like Beatrix Potter, subject of Saving the Countryside, she draws all the time with her computer and her watercolors (she loves them!), and she enjoys taking long walks in a nearby park. There, she meets squirrels and birds, and pets every dog and cat she comes across. She has no rabbit, but her dream is to live with a cat in a house full of books and paintings.
