Signed first printing of the first entry in Mo Willems's beloved PIGEON picture book series, in which our avian hero desperately tries to indulge his passion for motor vehicles - with an original drawing of the titular bird. Winner of a 2003 Caldecott Honor. Mo Willems's art is minimalistic and expressive, hilarious and earnest. He began his career as a writer and animator for SESAME STREET, for which he earned six Emmy Awards - his successful shift into children's literature is not surprising. Willems's picture books have earned three Caldecott Honors, two Theodor Seuss Geisel Medals, and he was named the Kennedy Center's first educational artist-in-residence in 2019. 9'' x 9''. Original color pictorial boards. No dust jacket, as issued. Illustrated in color. Unpaginated. Signed by Willems to title page, with original drawing of the Pigeon. Binding with a hint of bumping to spine ends. Clean and bright.
