The Pigeon Comes to St. Louis: A Mo Willems Exibit opens at The Magic House on May 25. The exhibit is inspired by the art and characters of the beloved children's book author and illustrator, Mo Willems. Many familiar characters will be featured, including best friend duo Elephant and Piggie, faithful companion Knuffle Bunny, and The Pigeon, the wily city bird best known for his antics in Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Activities will give children the opportunity to make art that is inspired by Mo Willems and to learn about the rich social and emotional lives of the author's characters. The exhibit will also feature prints of illustrations, including works in progress, by Mo Willems.
The Pigeon Comes to St. Louis: A Mo Willems Exhibit runs May 25 through September 8 at The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum. The exhibit is free with museum admission.
