Richard Scarry was unquestionably one of the most-loved children's authors of all time. He wrote more than 250 books which have gone on to sell more than 150 million copies globally that have been translated into dozens of languages. Mr. Scarry, who was born in Boston and moved to Switzerland in 1968, once wrote: 'It's a precious thing to be communicating to children, helping them discover the gift of language and thought. I'm happy to be doing it.' Ole Christian Risom was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark and was one of the most influential children's book publishers of the twentieth century. Risom collaborated with the greatest creative artists of his time including Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson, Charles M. Schultz, Marc Brown (Arthur) and Laurent de Brunhoff (Babar). His collaboration with close friend and illustrator Richard Scarry produced The Busy, Busy World of Richard Scarry and I Am a Bunny, which are both still in print today.
