Julie Andrews's singing poodle inspires new children's book

Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton have co-authored a new children's picture book titled "Shy," inspired by Andrews's childhood poodle. The book, set to be released on August 11, tells the story of a dog named Shy who finds her voice through music after being adopted from a stressful animal shelter. The narrative draws from family lore about Andrews's original poodle, who would 'gargle' along with her during vocal exercises for "My Fair Lady." The book aims to encourage young readers to embrace their authentic selves and share their passions with the world. AI
