艾瑞·卡尔，1929年出生于纽约，1935年随父母返德国定居。艾瑞·卡尔讨厌德国式的教育，专业教育下的学校生活及时代的战乱，让他的少年时光并不快乐。战后，从小就展露绘画天分且向往自由浪漫的艾瑞·卡尔，在中学绘画老师的推荐及母亲的鼓励下，进入斯图加特艺术学院学习了四年的商业设计，一毕业即在时尚杂志担任艺术总监。1952年，艾瑞·卡尔再次踏上他要实现梦想的土地——美国。因缘巧合，艾瑞·卡尔得到李欧·李奥尼的赏识和推荐，顺利开始他在《纽约时报》的工作，发挥美术兼广告设计的长才。1960年成立了个人工作室，辛勤工作之外，他更渴望蜕变、渴望创作！

1967年，艾瑞·卡尔首次有机会为孩子的书配上插画，这次充满乐趣、大胆发挥创意的过程，让他感觉畅快淋漓，也引领他日后走向为儿童创作图画书的道路。他年近40才开始创作图画书，迄今为止，已经创作了《棕色的熊、棕色的熊，你在看什么？》、《好饿的毛毛虫》、《海马先生》、《爸爸，我要月亮》等70多本色彩缤纷、富含想象力的拼贴画风格的图画书，被翻译成了多种语言，小读者遍布世界各地，并荣获多项世界著名儿童图画书奖。他笔下那条著名的毛毛虫，已被翻译成近50种语言版本，销量突破3300万，风行世界40余年。
