What comes first, the story or the pictures ?

Eric Carle says, “To me, pictures need writing and writing needs pictures.”

The idea comes first!

How does Eric Carle make his pictures ?

His pictures are like collages. He starts by painting lots of plain tissue paper with different colors. Then when he wants to make a picture, he cuts different shapes out of the painted tissue paper and glues it all together.
