After turning 90 at the start of October, actress Julie Andrews has another reason to celebrate this month, as she just re-released a fan-favorite book that she wrote with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.
The mother-daughter duo have been writing books together for years, and over a decade ago, they originally published a book called The Great American Mousical. Soon after, the story was also adapted into a stage musical with Andrews directing. Now, Andrews and Emma are giving the story, which features illustrations from Tony Walton, Emma's father and Andrews' ex-husband, a revamped look, with the re-release officially coming out on Oct. 21.

Regarding The Great American Mousical, Andrews explained, "It is about theater and the passion that everybody feels for it, and the main theme is also, well, no matter how small you are, you can make a difference."
As for the collaboration between the Mary Poppins star and her daughter, Emma told the publication, "We literally write out loud — tag team back and forth, you know, what the next line should be, and I'm typing as we go," before Andrews joked, "Yeah, bless her heart, she does [the typing] for me. Otherwise, we'd be here on the first book still."
Andrews and Emma have written numerous children's books together, and Emma also helped her mother write her memoir, Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years, which came out in 2019.
