Carle has written 70 children’s books since then, but said he does not plan to write any more.
Carle said he remembers an art teacher who secretly showed him non-traditional art when it was forbidden in Germany during World War II.
“My teacher told me, ‘I like the looseness of your style, and I want you to see this,’” recalled Carle, who was especially inspired by Picasso and Matisse.
Years later, writer Bill Martin Jr. sparked Carle’s interest in children’s books when he asked Carle to illustrate his work “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?”
Dean of the Graduate School of Education Kathleen McCartney said that she invited Carle to speak partly because of his popular appeal. His work also carries personal significance, she said.
