Eric carle moon5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() – by Cynthia Zarin, The New Yorker, November 18, 1992 Night falls, the moon rises, the moon asks for a star, and the circle is complete. The sun asks for a tree, and before long an entire universe has sprung up. The star then asks the artist to draw the sun. An artist is asked by an unseen friend to draw a star. “Draw Me A Star, written and illustrated by Eric Carle, the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, is another cyclical book, and a good one to read at bedtime. Based on Eric Carle’s recollection of his grandmother’s way of drawing a star (directions included), this seemingly simple story also provides insights into an artist’s private world of creativity. The artist’s drawing of a star begins the creation of an entire universe around him as each successive pictured object requests that he draw more. ![]()
