A fun, slice-of-life travelogue. Which is enhanced by knowing most of his of children's books. I hadn't realized that Willems wrote for Sesame Street, but the back flap says he's a six-time Emmy Award winner for it.

I haven't traveled nearly as extensively as Willems, but I have been to Thailand. Touching down in Bangkok, then traveling by sleeper bus down part of the peninsula. It was fun to see some of the overlap of our experiences about 20 years apart. I had also been there during the king's birthday, Willems talks about candles, we sent off lanterns.
