Prolific author/illustrator passes away.
Recently, I had to say goodbye to one of my favorite authors, Eric Carle. Author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Carle passed away last Sunday from kidney failure. He would have celebrated his 92nd birthday in June.
Carle wrote several other books, including Brown Bear, What Do You See, and Papa, Get The Moon for Me.
In addition to writing and illustrating, Carle also loved baseball. Several baseball-related exhibits are on display at the Carle Museum of Illustrated Art, including a sports story, Baseball Is by Louise Borden. There are also images of great players from the Negro Leagues.

RIP, Eric Carle.
Here is my tribute to a man who influenced me greatly.
