HORRAY, Mo Willems is “vidsiting” the West Palm Beach Public Library’s KidSpace!!!

A while back, my sister librarian, Jeanne, signed up our library to be one of the 200 organizations that Mo Willems will visit (vidsit) by video. 

On September 3rd we received that email we were impatiently waiting for: “Congratulations! Your school or library has been selected as one of the 200 participants in the Mo Willems’ Simulcast on October 6th at 2:00 PM EST!

Since we are selected, you are invited! Come join us on October 6th at 2:00 in the Auditorium to see Mo Willems’ Simulcast, go for a virtual walk through his studio, watch him doodle, preview some of his original drawings for this fall’s new Elephant and Piggie Adventure Pigs Make Me Sneeze!, and be there for the special surprise he has for all of us!

Be sure to check out some of our Mo Willems’ books at KidSpace!

Until we meet again,
