It is about the panic that can result when a small child’s favorite stuffed animal cannot be found. Willems was inspired to write Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale (2004) because of an experience he had with his daughter, Trixie.

The Pigeon is sweet, cute, angry, and frustrated throughout the course of the book. For the rest of the book the Pigeon tries to convince the reader to let him drive the bus. Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (2003) begins with a bus driver telling the reader to not let the Pigeon drive the bus. Eventually, that doodle became a sketchbook that became a book. Willems is always doodling and sketching.
