Since 2003, Mo Willems has authored numerous books for young children, many of which have garnered significant critical acclaim, winning multiple awards. The New York Times Book Review referred to Willems as “the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00’s” — and to his pigeon character as “one of this decade’s contributions to the pantheon of great picture book characters.

Willems’ books have been translated into a number of languages, spawned animated shorts that have twice been awarded the Carnegie Medal (Knuffle Bunny, 2007, and Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, 2010), His illustrations, wire sculpture, and carved ceramics have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the nation, and several books have been developed into theatrical musical productions.
