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.
Dearest Eric,
ReplyDeleteI tried to write to you just now but my commented didn't publish. Here I go again.
Since you've posted about your beautiful mother for Mother's Day, perhaps you might consider this request from a mother/grandmother. Could you please bring back the edition that says, "I see a mother looking at me"? Teachers are wonderful (I am one) but mothers are irreplaceable.
Hopefully,

What a great picture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture, Mr. Carle! I am sorry, though, that it was your first and last family vacation.
ReplyDeleteI have loved your work since I was a little girl, and I cannot wait to meet you at App State in July!

ReplyDeleteIt must be bitter-sweet to think back on that time of your life; I can only imagine. Your mother looked like a very kind person.Thank you for sharing this personal photo, Eric.
