A tribute to Eric Carle

It is with heavy hearts that we share that Eric Carle, author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and many other beloved classics, passed away on Sunday, May 23rd at the age of 91.

When asked why he thinks The Very Hungry Caterpillar has remained popular for so long, Carle said, “I think it is a book of hope. Children need hope. You, little insignificant caterpillar can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your talent.”

Thank you, Eric Carle for sharing your great talent and for leaving behind your Hope In a child in the form of books and stories . Your work will be missed but will be fondly remembered and will live on for generations with your stories coming alive ..

Let us all read a book today to our lil ones to honour the great man ?
