Mo Willems' Auction
November 18, 2005
The Pigeon Helps Out!
Now through November 25th, Mo Willems, author of some of my favorite children's books ever, is having an auction to benefit children affected by Hurricaine Katrina.
Willems wrote Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Leonardo the Terrible Monster and Knuffle Bunny. And he's just ventured into writing for teenagers, with a story in EVERYMAN FOR HIMSELF: 10 SHORT STORIES ABOUT BEING A GUY. Willems story, THE UNBEATABLE, is about a teen hero everyone wants to destroy. Other stories are by Walter Dean Myers, David Levithan, and Craig Thompson.
The stuff in his auction will make perfect gifts for your friends, or for yourself!
Signed copies (some first editions) by people like Eoin Coifer, Kate DiCamillo, Gordon Korman, Elmo, Lane Smith, Gail Carson Levine, Tony DiTerlizzi, etc.
Or if you're feeling more spendy, original art by Willems (who hasn't sold any of his art yet -- it's a FIRST and it's from Pigeon!), Margaret Chodos Irvine, Emily Arnold McCully, Jarrett Krosoczka, Kadir Nelson, David Shannon, Kevin Henkes (from Kitten!) --- a pretty amazing roster of stuff.
Geekily yours,
