American author Eric Carle passed away at the age of 91 years old in Northampton, Massachusetts.

He is best known for his successful children's book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

Carle's family confirmed he passed away on Sunday at his summer studio with his family members by his side. The family's announcement was issued by Penguin Young Leaders. Carle's son, Rolf told the The New York Times that he suffered from kidney failure.

He is also the writer of the successful, "Brown, Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?;" "Do You Want To Be My Friend?;" and "From Head to Toe," Carle introduced universal themes in simple words and bright colors.

He wrote "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in 1969 and it was immediately welcomed by parents and delighted children with the story of a hungry green and red caterpillar with a touch of blue transition into a beautiful butterfly.

Carle's books are sold worldwide.

He originally had the book conceived about a bookworm who eats through 26 different foods and was named Willi the Worm. But he found the caterpillar to be the better pick after the editor said it would show a metamorphosis.

He was most noted for The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a picture book that has been translated into more than 66 languages and sold more than 50 million copies.

He illustrated more than 70 books, most of which he also wrote, and more than 145 million copies of his books have been sold around the world.

In 2003, the American Library Association awarded Carle the biennial Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal (now called the Children's Literature Legacy Award), a prize for writers or illustrators of children's books published in the U.S. who have made lasting contributions to the field. Carle was also a U.S. nominee for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2010.
