We Love Mo Willems and You Will Too!Have you heard the word on the bird? The Pigeon is coming to Tampa! We are thrilled to bring The Pigeon Comes to Tampa!: A Mo Willems Exhibit to GCM January 19-May 12. This interactive traveling exhibit brings to life the beloved children’s books by author and illustrator Mo Willems. It is silly and adorable, complete with a hotdog slinger, a Naked Mole Rat fashion show, Knuffle Bunny’s Laundromat, and even the Pigeon’s Bus!
There are tons of reasons you should visit this exhibit and still more reasons to love Mo Willems. Kids giggle every time Wilbur the Naked Mole Rat gets dressed and they love the Pigeon’s sense of adventure and sarcasm. Even adults laugh out loud reading the antics of best friends Elephant and Piggie. More than just fun bedtime stories, these books teach key skills for social and emotional wellness. The illustrations are clean and simple, yet full of expression and unlike typical narrative-style children’s books, these stories are told through the character’s dialogue and inner monologue. Without a narrator to explain the nuances of what’s happening, kids must interpret nonverbal cues, like facial expressions and mannerisms, to understand the characters’ actions and emotions. Can you imagine if everyone had these skills? Mo Willems is helping us raise emotionally intelligent kids who will grow up to create a more empathetic world. And what could be better than that?
