My book The Very Quiet Cricket is really a love story. For when they find each other, "...he chirped the most beautiful sound that she had ever heard."
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

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 read that to my son this afternoon! Its his favorite. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day Mr. Carle! I have a question for you...do you ever do author appearances? I'm student teaching now, and I'd like to do a fun school event this semester!
ReplyDeletehappy day to you as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a solid sleeper, too many things to pay attention too. I remember once at the age of five I kept getting out of bed and blaming my lack of sleepiness on various things in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhen I came up with "the crickets are chirping too loud!" my Dad thought for a moment and said to me, "just imagine they are singing you a lullaby."
It was the "Dad"liest thing my father ever said to me, and I've always treasured it as a lovely thing. And I think of him every time I see crickets. What a wonderful memory to be sparked by this picture!
That is adorable. <3
