Mo Willems is all about letting imaginations run wild. He is the beloved artist and author behind #1 New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honors-awarded picture books like Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and the Knuffle Bunny series as well as his celebrated Elephant & Piggie early reader series, for which he’s won 2 Theodor Seuss Geisel Awards, 5 Geisel Honors, and an Eisner Award.

Hidden Pigeon Company (HPC) is an exciting new multiplatform kids and family content company founded in early 2023 by celebrated children’s book author Mo Willems along with Stampede Ventures and RedBird Capital Partners. It was formed with the goal of expanding the already-impressive reach and impact of Willems’ best-selling catalog of children’s books and intellectual property across all entertainment platforms – from television, film, and digital to live events, location-based experiences, licensing & merchandising, publishing, and more.
Hidden Pigeon Company takes its name from Willems’ immensely popular character, The Pigeon, as kids and “former kids” (as Mo likes to say) – delight in finding The Pigeon hidden somewhere in all his books.
