Biographie d'Eric Carle
Eric Carle, born in Syracuse, New York, moved with his family to Stuttgart, Germany, at the age of six. He attended school there and studied graphic design at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. Returning to New York as a young man, he began a career in commercial art before discovering the world of children's books. He authored his first picture book, 1, 2, 3 to the Zoo, in 1968, and since then has written and illustrated over three dozen books, including the classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which has sold over 50 million copies worldwide, in 66 languages.
Today Is Monday was originally illustrated as a frieze by Mr. Carle in 1977. Years later, however, he was inspired anew to adapt the song for a picture book. Eric Carle lives in the Florida Keys.
