Mo Willems Author Study with Pigeon

Help me give my students Pigeon books for our Mo Willems author study!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Killion's classroom raised $177

My Project

Reading every day is important to me and my classroom. I want to be able to share more and more books where students can relate to. I want to give students books they can take home and read again and again. Every year I do an author study using books written by the author Mo Willems. My students love this unit!

You never know what book will spark an interest or a need with a student.

My students want to read books about something they can relate to and having these books will hopefully provide those opportunities for my students. I am requesting a few books for the classroom as well as books for each kid to take home that was written by the author Mo Willems.
