Young readers first met the Pigeon, a beleaguered bird
desperate for a shot behind the wheel of a bus, in 2003. Don''t Let
the Pigeon Drive the Bus! went on to sell millions of copies,
receive a Caldecott Honor, and spawn additional picture books,
apps, games, and even silly bands.
But did you know the Pigeon was born many years earlier in the
pages of a sketchbook?
In Don''t Pigeonhole Me! Two Decades of the Mo Willems Sketchbook,
readers are given a rare glimpse into the mind of the man the New
York Times described as "The biggest new talent to emerge thus far
in the ''00s." Since he was a teenager, Mo has been creating
characters and scribbling ideas in the pages of sketchbooks. In the
early 1990s, he started self-publishing collections of his
drawings, and The Mo Willems Sketchbook was created. What began as
a calling card for his work has morphed over the years from a form
of therapy, to an opportunity to explore and experiment, to a gift
for friends and loved ones. But these sketchbooks have always been
and continue to be the well from which Mo draws ideas and
inspiration.
Featuring a foreword by Eric Carle and an introduction by Mo,
this volume includes all twenty sketchbooks from the last two
decades. Don''t Pigeonhole Me! reveals the authorillustrator at his
most truthful, most experimental, most grown-up.
Most Mo.
