Eric Carle: Picture Writer The Art of the Picture Book
is an intimate portrait of Eric Carle, creator of more than 70 books for children including the best-selling, classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Now 82, Eric Carle is still at work in his studio making books and creating art.

In this new film, a beloved icon shares his childhood memories of taking walks with his father in the woods on Saturday mornings, which inspired his many stories about animals and insects. He remembers growing up in Germany, listening to the tall tales of relatives who became the inspiration for many of his picture books.

As he methodically layers a tissue paper collage of the caterpillar, he describes a sense of being at peace, all alone, when everything grows quiet and it is just himself and his work.

After 40 years, and 33 million copies sold of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric and his wife Barbara gave back to the world that made EricÂ’s caterpillar so successful. They built a 40,000 square foot museum that celebrates picture book art from around the world and the creative spirit in each visitor who walks through its doors.

EricÂ’s sense of connection to the child he once was and his sensitivity to each childÂ’s unique nature will inspire audiences. The documentary taps into that deep creative need in each of us, a spirit that started in Eric as a very young child and is unceasing today.
