Q: Can you give me your biography?
Sure:
#1 New York Times Bestselling author and illustrator Mo Willems is best known for his Caldecott Honor winning picture books Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Knuffle Bunny: a cautionary tale, and Knuffle Bunny Too: a case of mistaken identity.
In addition to such picture books as Leonardo the Terrible Monster, Edwina the Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She Was Extinct, and Time to Pee!, Mo created the Theodor Suess Geisel Medal winning Elephant and Piggie books, a series of early readers, and published You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When it Monsoons, an annotated cartoon journal sketched during a year-long voyage around the world in 1990-91.
The New York Times Book Review called Mo “the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00's."
Mo’s work books have been translated into a myriad of languages, spawned Carnegie Medal winning animated shorts, and theatrical musical productions. His illustrations, wire sculpture, and carved ceramics have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the nation.
Mo began his career as a writer and animator for television, garnering six Emmy Awards for his writing on Sesame Street, creating Nickelodeon's The Off-Beats, Cartoon Network’s Sheep in the Big City and head-writing Codename: Kids Next Door.
He lives in Massachusettes with his family.

Q: Will you speak at my group’s convention/event?
Probably not. While I enjoy visiting groups, I have found that my hectic schedules have been detrimental to my being able writing and illustrating books on time. So, I will be cutting back for 2009-10.
Currently, my schedule is booked thru summer 2009. Usually, events are booked at least 12 months in advance. Due to time constraints, I do a very, very limited number of school visits each year. Please contact info(at)pigeonpresents(dot)com with your proposal/request.
Thank you for the support.
