About Marc Brown:
Marc Brown has had many jobs… truck driver, short-order cook, TV art director, and a college professor. When the college closed he was rescued by an aardvark who appeared one night while telling his son a bedtime story. That bedtime story became his first book, ARTHUR’S NOSE. Then a series of books which became the longest running animated children’s program in history. He is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, winner of three Emmy Awards, the George Foster Peabody Award and most recently, the Television Critics Award for the episode, Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone. Next year he celebrates two anniversaries, 25 years of Arthur on PBS and 45 years of children around the world reading Arthur books.
