Emmerdale star Danny Miller has embarked on an emotional journey with the launch of a special family festival tied to his “Albert’s Bookshelf” project. Scheduled for July 6th and 7th in Bolton, the festival promises a heartwarming experience for young book enthusiasts. Inspired by his son Albert’s passion for stories, Miller’s initiative features live readings and activities aimed at sparking children’s imaginations. Collaborating with Nigel Clucas of Capital FM, Miller originally introduced “Albert’s Bookshelf” as an audiobook series in July 2023, making his spoken word stories accessible worldwide through a dedicated app. Reflecting on the project’s global reach, Miller expressed surprise at the diverse locations where children are downloading his stories, highlighting its impact on international young readers.

In discussing his return to Emmerdale last year, Miller revealed mixed feelings about the darker storylines involving his character Aaron. While appreciating the opportunity to explore Aaron’s complex persona, Miller emphasized his preference for portraying Aaron as a lovable rogue with a hint of edge, rather than veering into a consistently darker portrayal. Acknowledging the challenges of sustaining Aaron’s character arc, Miller shared his hopes to maintain the character’s authenticity without compromising his core likability.

Miller’s dedication to nurturing children’s literacy through “Albert’s Bookshelf” underscores his commitment to education and storytelling beyond the screen. The festival’s launch represents a heartfelt extension of his efforts, bringing families together to celebrate the magic of literature and imagination. As attendees prepare to immerse themselves in Miller’s readings and interactive sessions, the event promises to be a memorable occasion for both young readers and their families, reinforcing Miller’s passion for fostering a love of books among children worldwide.
