    About the Author

    Marin studied nuclear physics, art, and literature. He owned an advertising agency for many years. A few more things about him: he does not drive, he does not drink carbonated beverages, he had never consumed food from fast-food restaurants, he does not have a mobile phone, he had never used legal or illegal drugs, and he had never visited his GP (much to the disapproval of his wife). He started his small publishing house FONTREAL (children’s picture books) in 2016.

    Marin lives with his wife and two children on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean – in St. John’s, NL, Canada.

        Thank you, Linda, for your kind words. My goal was to create an educational (without being didactic) and inspiring book with a touch of magic. Apparently, children like the story – it became a bestseller in its category on Amazon…
