How Miracle was born?

Anne Geddes: "I first met Celine several years ago, when she was incredibly kind to an eight-year-old girl whom my husband and I were very close to, who has since died of cancer. Celine and I discovered that we have common values, and we both cherish the love that can be expressed in families. Our friendship grew, and we began to talk about how much we would enjoy working together".

"The combination is a perfect blend. We believe that each new life is truly a miracle. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to create Miracle with Celine, whose vocal artistry completely captures our shared love for children".

Anne Geddes revealed that was a pleasure to work with Celine Dion: "Celine has such a presence, a strong female aura. There is a photograph of her with a lotus flower that I just adore; she is so intense, feminine, and proud with the child. Through all the required set ups, including more than a hundred newborns, she remained completely poised, sensitive to the infants, and full of humor, which touched us all. At every step of the process, Celine was fantastic".

Sales:

"Miracle" reached #1 of the top in Canada, and in the USA it reached # 4 and had been certified Platinum (1,000,000 copies sold).

It's so far the best-selling album ever, dedicated to children, in the United States.
