Artun Bekar was born in Turkey. Raised in Switzerland and Ukraine. He studied International Relations in the United Kingdom. He is currently living in Shanghai and working in the healthy snacks industry. He became interested in writing children's books when he realized that in modern educational paradigms there isn't enough environmental and emotional teaching for kids. After extensive research on emotions and the environment, he started writing stories for children. His latest book Catching Emotions focuses on emotional and environmental awareness. He strongly believes it is necessary to teach about emotions at a very early age. To protect and preserve the environment, he strongly advocates to introduce today's environmental challenges to kids as early as possible. Retrospect, the best way to accomplish this task is through well composed stories that can raise questions in children's minds.
