Happy Spring to you Mr. Carle! Our Grade 2 class at Naksup Elementary School in Nakusp BC Canada has been writing about what animal our school mascot should be as a future school vote! Now we are illustrating our writing with you as our inspiration. They can't wait to do art like 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.
And a very happy Spring to you too.
