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.
Thank you for contributing to many happy mother/daughter moments while reading your books. My eldest and I met you in the 80's when you came to our local children's bookstore in New Rochelle.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with the earlier comment. My four year old daughter are currently reading, 'The Bad-Tempered Ladybird'.
