I am the mother and I can tell you what happened to the profits. Half of the books were donated so nothing was made there. The profits from the other half were put into starting a charity called ‘Children against violence’ which you will be hearing about soon enough

Wow Amazed, that comment of yours sounds so mean.
1: Printing is very expensive. I know I own a small printing business.
2: They could have done a small print run of only 30 – 50 books and sold them all
3: Why are you so sure they made a big profit from the first book?
Talk to someone like Mr. Dale Butler who will tell you the real inside story about the expense of printing books and hoping they will sell.
