American artist and writer and world’s best-selling children’s book author, Richard Scarry wrote and illustrated over 300 books, selling over 300 million copies worldwide. Thanks to a team lead by Baiba Vītoliņa (Sweden) the Latvian version “Jautrā grāmata” was published in 1974 (printed in Portugal) bringing joy to many emigre Latvian kids.
You have to remember that this was no easy task without the help of a personal computer which only came a decade later.
