Mo Willems Pack Award-winning author Pack by Mo Willems (author)

Pigeon isn’t the kind of bird who is happy pecking at bird seed. He wants to live life to the max. He wants to drive a bus, stay up all night and get his own puppy – and he couldn’t care less about the word ‘no’. He’ll get his way, whatever it takes. Think you can talk Pigeon out of his cocky behaviour? Good luck! He’s always one step ahead of you! He pleads, bullies, cajoles and tells bare-faced lies. It’s very naughty – and very funny. What will it take to make this shameless pigeon keep quiet?

Classic funny stories about the irrepressible Pigeon

Simple yet hilarious artwork in a bold cartoon style

Witty favourites full of simple lessons about manners

Mo Willems is a triple Caldecott Honor award-winner

Mo Willems

New York Times Bestseller Mo Willems began his career as a writer and animator for PBS’ Sesame Street, where he garnered 6 Emmy Awards for his writing. During his nine seasons at Sesame Street, Mo also served as a weekly commentator for BBC Radio and created two animated series, Nickelodeon’s The Off-Beats and Cartoon Network’s Sheep in the Big City.

While serving as head writer for Cartoon Network’s #1 rated show, Codename: Kids Next Door, Mo began writing and drawing books for children. His debut effort, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! became a New York Times Bestseller and was awarded a Caldecott Honor in 2004. The following year Knuffle Bunny: a Cautionary Tale was awarded a Caldecott Honor. The sequel, Knuffle Bunny Too: a Case of Mistaken Identity garnered Mo his third Caldecott Honor in 2008.

In addition to picture books, Mo created the Elephant and Piggie books, a series of “Easy Readers”, which were awarded the Theodor Suess Geisel Medal in 2008 and 2009 and a Geisel Honor in 2011. For older audiences he has published an illustrated memoir of his year-long trip around the world in 1990-91 entitled You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When it Monsoons.

Mo’s drawings, wire sculptures, and ceramics (done in collaboration with his father) have exhibited in numerous galleries and museums across the nation and his graphic story about his family experiences during 9-11 for DC comics resides in the Library of Congress’ permanent collection.

Mo has been heard on NPR’s All Things Considered where he occasionally serves as the broadcast’s ‘Radio Cartoonist’. While no longer working in television, Mo voices and produces animated cartoons based on his books with Weston Woods studios.

Mo lives in Massachusetts with his family.
