Here are some of my friends who recently came to visit. The egret is sitting on our fence; the pelican is resting on our dock.
And Whitey, a stray cat who has been paying us regular visits for some time now.

About Me
- Eric Carle
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of the more than 70 picture books that I have written and/or illustrated. I was born in the U.S. and was raised in Germany. My background is in graphic design but since the late 1960's when I illustrated Bill Martin Jr's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I have been creating books for children. My illustrations are collages made with my own hand-painted tissue papers, a technique many children have replicated and enjoyed in their classrooms and at home. With my late wife Barbara, I am also the cofounder of The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA.
I love your friends, especially the birds. You all live in such a great place to watch them.
ReplyDeleteYour work is alive and well out there. An artist friend's four year old came in to our studio yesterday with a hand made caterpillar inspired by your book! Its a thread that runs through the lives of more than one generation. Thank you!
How fun to have special friends like that! Will they turn into a story??? I just received your book The Tiny Seed through scholastic and it was a pleasant surprise that for only $1 I got a full sized, well made, nice paper, book! Thanks for making your great work affordable - what an amazing treat!!! I buy your books at full price too - that's how much I love them!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful creatures right at your home! I love pelicans - and Whitey looks beautiful and content.
ReplyDeleteObviously, they are drawn to you. :) It looks as if they have a beautiful place to hang out as well. I hope you'll drop by my blog sometime. It's called On The Lap and it is to help promote Children's Literacy. It's just a pet project I recently started. I think you'd like it. http://onthelap.blogspot.com/
