OLE RISOM (1920-2000) was one of the most influential
publishers of mass-market books for children. He was vice president
and art director of Golden Books at Western Publishing Company from
1952-1972, and then vice president and associate publisher of the
juvenile division of Random House from 1972-1990. He worked closely
with his good friend Richard Scarry over the years at both houses.
He also worked with Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson, Stan and Jan Berenstain,
Leo Lionni, Laurent de Brunhoff, Charles M. Schulz, and Marc
Brown.
RICHARD SCARRY (1919-1994) is one of the world’s
best-loved children’s book authors ever! No other illustrator has
shown such a lively interest in the words and concepts of early
childhood. After a stint in the army, Scarry showed his portfolio
to one of the original editors at Golden Books in 1948. There he
found the perfect home for his children’s books. In the
extraordinary career that followed, Scarry illustrated well over
100 books, many of which have never been out of print.
