Illustrator Marianne Richmond has joined an elite club upon the sale of the one millionth copy of one of her books. Compare this with common figure of less than 99 copies for a given book. Very few books get a print run of over 2 or 3,000 copies, let alone sell in the thousands or hundreds of thousands.

Richmond has not only done that, but four of her six books have sold over 100,000 copies. Each. Her books have won several awards including the Benjamin Franklin award, Mother’s Choice award, and Creative Child award. Congratulations to an obviously dedicated author.
