Eric Carle, the beloved author and illustrator of many classic children's books including "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," has died at the age of 91. Carle's vibrantly colored collage illustrations appeared in more than 70 books, many of which he also wrote; more than 145 million copies of his books have been sold around the world. His most popular book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," first published in 1969, has sold 50 million copies and been translated into 66 languages. In speaking once about the long-time appeal of his most famous book, 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. Will I ever be able to do that? Yes, you will. I think that is the appeal of that book." Carle was born in Syracuse, New York but spent much of his youth in his parents' native country of Germany, where he survived being conscripted by the German army at the age of 15 to dig trenches on the Siegfried line during World War II. He dreamed of returning home to the US one day and finally made it back to New York in 1952 with only $40 in his pocket. After spending years working in advertising as a graphic designer and art director, he first broke into children's literature when children's author Bill Martin Jr. liked an illustration Carle had created for an ad and invited him to collaborate. Their book, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" became a bestseller, and Carle soon began writing his own stories. Carle often used nature themes to help children overcome anxiety about new things: "The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books, I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message," he said. "I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun." Eric Carle continued to create into his 90s, publishing his last book, "Thank You, Teacher from The Very Hungry Caterpillar," this past April.
