It's a charming collection of sketches from an almost year-long trip around the world. The doodles themselves are simple and amusing, and they each have comments below that give them some background.There are far better books of this sort, I wasn't blown away by this one.
An older Mo Willems looks back on the cartoons he drew while traveling around the world for a year. Naturally, they’re pretty funny.
I respect the effort and discipline it took Willems to make and save these daily cartoons. And, it's an interesting document of an artist's development. But I admit, I'm so fond of his more polished books, that I was left wanting some ineffable more.
