The Art of Whimsy of Mo Willems at NY Historical Society

I didn't know Mo.  You know, Mo Willems, (b. Amer 1968) the highly honored illustrator and children's author.  Willems has received 3 Caldecott honors, 2 Geisel Medals and is an inductee in the Picture book Hall of Fame.  For shame - I didn't even know his name.  The exhibit is endearing and some of the characters seemed familiar.  I appreciate the curators of NY Historic Soc taking a broad expanse of exhibits that inform, enlighten & entertain - for every age.  It would have been fun had I someone young to take.  There was a cozy carpeted nook with lots of Willems' books.  The exhibit was sponsored by Disney Publishing Worldwide.  The museum took a page out of Disney's modus operandi "exit out the gift shop."
