Milly, Molly books have since been translated into 40 languages.[1]

Milly, Molly, an animated TV series based on the books, was produced in 2006.[2] An agreement for a second season was made in early 2008.[3] The two young actors, Savannah Green and Madeline Flood, are working on the TV show and possibly, making a feature film someday. The voice of Aunt Maude is Cornelia Frances.
