Audiences will play, participate, and create with cross-genre experiences and world premieres seen nowhere else. The creator of The Pigeon series, Knuffle Bunny, and Elephant & Piggie, Mo will develop and present multidisciplinary programming and performances across the Kennedy Center including theater, jazz, dance, classical music, comedy, digital experience, and outreach over the next two years. Over the last decade, Mo has written three musical theater works based on his books, two of which were commissioned and toured by the Kennedy Center. His papers reside at Yale University’s Beinecke Library. Willems, whose Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs also operated on a balance of threat and humor, models this suspenseful picture book after a silent movie. In another, an elephant discovers the one thing worse than.
In one, a pigeon attempts to drive a bus.
His work has been exhibited around the world, including solo retrospectives at the High Museum in Atlanta and the New-York Historical Society. Mo Willems’ pictures books are notable for their off-beat charm. Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs is a new take on the fairy-tale classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears, so funny and so original-it could only come from the brilliant mind of Mo Willems, the author/illustrator of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and the Elephant and Piggie series. Mo began his career as a writer and animator on Sesame Street, where he garnered six Emmy Awards. Additionally, he is the recipient of two Theodor Geisel Medals and five Geisel Honors for his Elephant & Piggie early readers. Author and illustrator Mo Willems has been awarded the American Library Association’s Caldecott Honor three times for his picture book illustration.
