    About this ebook

    One graduate’s journey to find his place in the world. In 1990, before embarking on his groundbreaking children’s book career, Mo Willems packed a small bag and a sketchbook and set out to explore the world—by plane, car, boat, bus, motorcycle, and rickshaw. At the end of each day, he drew a cartoon of the one event that stuck out in his mind, from the sublime to the ridiculous. This is his sketch diary.

      Hard Sleep

      Aug 23, 2021

      Many, many mornings, I try for a sleep on the train. This I attempt as the track rises towards the darkness of the Remutaka tunnel. I stretch out my legs, arrange my arms loosely in my lap. The seats have slight wings which cup my head just enough th

      There Is Still Wonder to Be Had in Travel

      I picked up You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When It Monsoons: The World on One Cartoon a Day by Mo Willems at a library sale last week. You know Mo Willems, right? The amazing children's picture book author, he of Pigeon fame and Knuffle Bunny fame, universally adored by children of all sizes and ages (even those of us who are 58). If you know who he is, then you know why I couldn't possibly pass up this book for a buck. I read the blurb on the back, telling You Can Never Find a Rickshaw is a compilation of cartoons Willems drew during a round-the-world trip he took in 1990. He made one cartoon a day, each a drawing to help him recall the quirkiest thing that happened that day.But here was the most amazing thing about this little $1 buy:Autographed!
    • 5/5
      A good collection of notes on his world tour. Some of the observations will stay with you.
    • 3/5
      An older Mo Willems looks back on the cartoons he drew while traveling around the world for a year. Naturally, they’re pretty funny.
