He didn't get started on that path until he was nearly 40, but he found great inspiration in his own childhood. Over the course of his career, Carle illustrated more than 70 books for kids. The Very Hungry Caterpillar - probably Carle's best-known work - came out in 1969 and became one of the bestselling children's books of all time.Īccording to a family statement, Carle "passed away peacefully and surrounded by family members on at his summer studio in Northampton, Massachusetts."
