Julie Andrews, Emma Walton Hamilton and Hope Hamilton have recorded a shared-reading message for selected Hachette children’s audiobooks. The publisher announced the three-generation collaboration on October 13, with the recording appearing at the end of participating titles beginning this autumn. The message

encourages families to spend ten minutes reading together each day and let children choose books that interest them. It targets listeners aged seven and younger, with participating imprints including Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, Running Press Kids, Union Square Kids and Workman Kids. Hachette will also add a

call to action to a broader range of children’s print books. The expansion carries its Raising Readers campaign into children’s publishing after earlier messages in adult titles, including Andrews’ memoirs. Read the official source.
