Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art

With The Very Hungry Caterpillar celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019, we speak to Courtney Waring from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, an institution dedicated to inspiring a love of art and reading through picture books. We trace the history of Carle’s classic book, which began as A Week with Willi the Worm, his involvement with the museum and discuss the importance of picture books.
