And contrary to what has been implied, many many writers of children's books who are not celebrities receive advances of $100,000 and more.

I wouldn't say "many, many," only a small percentage of very elite writers and the occasional new author whose book goes to auction . . . it's just that the high advances get publicized more.
  I was pleased at the idea that Jason Alexander only got $10,000.00 for that tooth fairy book!
