Mo Willems: The Joy of Creation | A Kennedy Center Digital Stage Original

"Everything that I do comes from a place of wanting to do something ridiculous."—Mo Willems

The Kennedy Center presents an intimate portrait of Mo Willems, the Center's first-ever Education Artist-in-Residence. From his beginnings in comedy and television (Sesame Street, Sheep in the Big City, The Off-Beats) to his popular books (The Pigeon series, Elephant & Piggie), musicals (Knuffle Bunny), and YouTube creations (LUNCH DOODLES with Mo Willems!), journey with Mo as he continues to explore who he is as an artist and invites others to discover the joy of creation.

As a kid who grew up on Mo Willems' work, I can't begin to explain the joy I felt bumping into his series with the Kennedy Center. I would check out his books from the school library and read them cover to cover *at least* once. My favorite series of his was Knuffle Bunny, and to learn it has a stage adaptation brings me even MORE joy!!

Mo, you are amazing. Thank you! The Off-Beats will forever be one of my favorite things you ever did ❤

I didn't know Mo existed until recently I watched KEET TV PBS channel "Antique Road show "... his cartoons are so simple and that ... for a cartoonist that are so simple to draw one can captilize a lot of money....first I saw his networth was $4 million....then I search the internet again and it said over $80 million Maybe I should draw cartoons ! My original cartoons aren't that great looking yet I doubt if someone would like my cartoons.. always doubting myself....Should I try send cartoons in the mail..I did years ago and my cartoons were sent
