Busy isn’t enough to describe mom of two Soleil Moon Frye. Not only is she the doting mother of daughters Poet, 7, and Jagger, 4½, but she also owns an eco-friendly kids store (The Little Seed), acts as Target‘s Mommy Ambassador and has also written a memoir that chronicles her happy journey from child star to parent.

A full plate? Not for her. The former Punky Brewster star recently announced she’s penning a how-to party guide full of tips on how to throw affordable, stress-free, and kid-friendly get-togethers, which will be published next fall by Stewart, Tabori & Chang.

“I love putting together parties for our family. I get super excited at any chance to celebrate,” Moon Frye tells PEOPLE. “And it’s also really important to me that I involve the kids. Actually, they have become little party planners themselves.”

One of Julie Andrews‘s favorite childhood memories is of her father reading to her when she was a young girl growing up in England.

“My father had a lovely way of reading,” recalls the iconic star of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. “He had a very nice voice, and he really made sure I understood the words. What was so endearing is that he suddenly became rather formal when he read, and I so enjoyed watching him do it properly for me.”

Now the 77-year-old screen legend is passing on that passion for books to her own eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton, 49, teamed to produce a new children’s poetry anthology, Julie Andrews’ Treasury for All Seasons: Poems and Songs to Celebrate the Year.
