Dear Friends,
I was delighted to be asked to create a piece for the House of Illustration, a picture book art museum being developed in London by Quentin Blake and other friends in the UK. For the project, entitled - What Are You Like? - I was asked to list eight of my favorite things and in this way create a kind of self-portrait. The piece has been printed as a limited edition signed giclee lithograph which can be purchased by visiting the House of Illustration web site shop at http://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/shop.php#prints.
While it hasn’t been my custom to plug books or products, I want to do my best to support this worthy cause. All proceeds from the sale of this print support the development of the House of Illustration.

Mr. Carle, I am a huge fan and often used your illustrations to show my toddler son that it was ok to 'not draw in the lines' when coloring. I have been collecting Hungry Caterpillar in the various translations. It is my top souvenir shopping priority when travelling abroad! Do you have a list of the translations? I have spanish, italian, french, norwegian, german, dutch and japanese . . and just saw there is a braille edition available! Thank you for creating such beautiful stories and books.
