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.
Happy Easter!!! I did this weeks lesson on you with the kids at school. We watched the Mr. Rodgers show you were on in the 70's, read The Clumsy Click Beetle, painted papers and made click beetle collages. I remember watching that episode as a child and being so inspired. I love art. Thanks for being such an inspiration!!! With Much Gratitude, Erika Johnson
