That depends on the books that you write and how they sell. My wife was recently watching the movie Sarah Plain and Tall and went to the library to find it. It was in the children's section. She started not to bother but noticed that it was a prize-winning book. Then she read it and found it to be a very, very well-written book. In making the movie, which then sold more books, that little piece made the writer a good deal of money. For real money from children's books, however, the prize goes somewhere between Milne and Lewis Carroll. In both cases, these classic works didn't do a tremendous lot right then, but to this day, their estates and the holders of the trusts protecting the copyrights have made a bundle.

You would think that making a childerns book would be easier but it's very hard to get it published. Alot of publishers I looked at(for my mother, she's the writer of the family not me! lol) where not taking any at the time which was about 3 months ago. If you can get it published you still probally wont get to much from it unless it takes off like Harry Potter or Geuss How Much I Love You. But dont give up hope it's still possible :)

Unless you are exceptionally talented, none.
I'm a published author with major publishing companies and I still get rejections.

It all depends on the popularity of your books, experience, and publishing.
