For When Eva Hollers, Paula used the art of collage to create the illustrations  - drawing inspiration from the work of Eric Carle.  Sadly, Mr. Carle passed away earlier this year and the world noted the loss of one of the most beloved creators of children’s literature.   Eric Carle’s artwork is distinctive and unique.  Where he used hand-painted thin papers that he cut or tore and layered to form brilliant colors, Paula used scraps of construction paper and created layering with intricate layers of color and paper.  Look at Eva’s hair or the rug when Eva takes a bath!

Eva’s dad learned to read with Eric Carle. One of his favorite books was  Carle's Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?  He was so proud to read it to us!  Below is  Bo, Eva’s brother, listening to Brown Bear, Brown Bear.  

From the Eric Carle website:  The secret of Eric Carle’s books’ appeal lies in his intuitive understanding of and respect for children, who sense in him instinctively someone who shares their most cherished thoughts and emotions. The themes of Eric Carle’s stories are usually drawn from his extensive knowledge and love of nature—an interest shared by most small children. Besides being beautiful and entertaining, his books always offer the child the opportunity to learn something about the world around them. It is his concern for children, for their feelings and their inquisitiveness, for their creativity and their intellectual growth that, in addition to his beautiful artwork, makes the reading of his books such a stimulating and lasting experience.
