About the Author:
Remus
was educated in the United States, graduated with a BA in art and illustration
from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, and lived in Japan and
Central America for many years. He has traveled to almost seventy countries and
visited over a thousand cities, of which he has painted over two hundred. His
work has been featured on TV and in many magazines and newspapers in Germany,
USA, and Mexico.
During
his art studies in California in the 1990s, Remus took his first children’s
book illustration class. His college teacher inspired him to start writing and
not just illustrating. The result was a picture book called Painting Brian,
which led to his first book and eventually to the Magora series. In the
early 2000s, Remus studied for four years at the Institute of Children’s
Literature. In 2016 the Magora book, which he had initially written more
than twenty years before, was finally published. During the five years that
followed, eight more books were published, and Remus received many literary
awards for his achievements.
Having
a sweet tooth since childhood, Remus embarked on a new journey in 2019.
Surrounded by many overweight friends and family members, Remus came up with an
idea to teach children a healthy way of eating without preaching. This idea
resulted in The Chocolate Clouds. It took the author two years to
illustrate the book. With over 150 drawings, it is a rarity in children’s
literature.
Today,
Marc Remus is working on a new children’s book while The Chocolate Clouds
are being translated into more languages. He continues to eat chocolate.
