Olive Kennon Beaupre was born in Aurora, Illinois on September 11, 1883 to William S. and Julia (Brady) Beaupre. She received her B.A. from Smith College in 1904.
The Book House for Children publishing company was founded in 1919 printing popular children’s literature edited by Miller to meet her standards:
Earlier versions of The Book House contained some short stories (such as Little Black Sambo and The Tar Baby) which were later recognized to be racist and were removed from the set, and replaced with newer stories of, e.g. The U.S. Space Program.
The company was also remarkable for its large female staff when most women did not work outside the home.
Illustrators for the series included Maude and Miska Petersham, Donn Philip Crane, Hilda Hanway, Milo Winter and Peter Newell.
