The charity event is in a few weeks time and before then Amy will be busy promoting her new book, which she wrote with her husband Andrew Shue.

The idea was inspired by their blended family as a way of helping their then-young children feel better about the big change in their lives when their parents first met.

Amy is a mom to two daughters, and Andrew has three sons. Chatting to Publisher's Weekly ahead of the book release, the couple opened up about its sweet  backstory.

 "When we first blended our family, we created bedtime stories about the animals in the backyard of our new home becoming a family and finding adventures together," they explained.

"We had chickens and we added in the squirrels, birds, and mice we saw to the stories. They helped our little ones feel connected to each other and our new lives together."
