What's not to love about Mo Willems? The man behind our beloved Elephant and Piggie books, the Pigeon books and more, is not only a best selling author and illustrator but an all around GREAT guy.  Mo Willems, along with many other authors, has stepped up to help and entertain us as we all learn from home.

You can explore the wonderful things he has to offer at his website www.mowillems.com.

One of my favourite activities that Mo Willems is offering is LUNCH DOODLES with Mo Willems through the Kennedy Center. Here you can join Mo to learn some of the art tricks that he uses to make his characters so alive and engaging.
