Today for fun I went to the Eric Carle Picture Book Museum in Amherst. Very Hungry Caterpillar, anyone? The work that goes into creating this type of art is unreal. For his illustrations, Carle actually used tissue paper collages. So cool. The museum has some of his original artwork from his books (as well as the work of many other children's authors).
I was certainly able to indulge my inner child. I saw my old favorites: Madeline, Strega Nona, Nancy Drew, The Wizard of Oz. Books transport me to another time and place.
And I am thankful for these opportunities to dream.
