1
00:00:01,127 --> 00:00:04,210
(markers scratching)

2
00:00:58,530 --> 00:00:59,363
- Ooh!

3
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:08,100
Hello, it's Mo Willems.

4
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,530
How have you been?

5
00:01:09,530 --> 00:01:13,020
It is May 7th, and we're
starting a new short series

6
00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:16,730
of videos called "Thank You Thursdays!"

7
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:18,610
It's going to be a Thank-o-Rama,

8
00:01:18,610 --> 00:01:21,720
because even though
there's a lot of stress,

9
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,010
and a lot of weird stuff,

10
00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:26,750
and a lot of not good
stuff going on right now,

11
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:30,080
there's also a lot to be thankful for.

12
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,160
Like, for instance, you.

13
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:37,050
I'm thankful that you are
watching this video right now.

14
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:40,570
So what we're going to do
is we're going to figure out

15
00:01:40,570 --> 00:01:43,827
who to thank, and then we're
going to make a thank you card,

16
00:01:43,827 --> 00:01:46,300
and we're going to sing a thank you song.

17
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,300
So if you want to get any
supplies, press pause.

18
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:51,133
Pause, okay.

19
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:57,190
And get some paper, and some colored pens,

20
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,340
and maybe some scissors or a ruler,

21
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:02,800
and a grown-up to help
with those scissors.

22
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,560
And we'll use all of
those in a little bit.

23
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,020
Okay, ready.

24
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:08,187
(mumbles)

25
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,323
All right, press play.

26
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,470
So, the first thing we need to do

27
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:19,530
is figure out who to thank.

28
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:23,548
Well fortunately I have a
Thank-o-Rama wheel of thanks.

29
00:02:23,548 --> 00:02:25,430
(snaps)

30
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:26,950
Look at that wheel.

31
00:02:26,950 --> 00:02:28,900
They're all different sorts of people

32
00:02:28,900 --> 00:02:31,380
and things that we can thank.

33
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:33,000
And we're going to spin the spinner

34
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,150
and see who we're going to thank today.

35
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:39,960
So in order to spin the
spinner I need your help.

36
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,380
When I count backwards from three

37
00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:44,610
I need you to yell spin.

38
00:02:44,610 --> 00:02:46,140
And then the spinner will spin.

39
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:46,973
Ready?

40
00:02:46,973 --> 00:02:50,940
Three, two, one, spin!

41
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:53,176
(spinner clicking)

42
00:02:53,176 --> 00:02:54,347
It's spinning, it's spinning.

43
00:02:54,347 --> 00:02:56,881
Oh!
It stopped on...

44
00:02:56,881 --> 00:02:58,150
(snaps)

45
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:00,500
Medical Workers.

46
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,840
Medical Workers, wow.

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,020
The last couple months these
guys have been such heroes.

48
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,010
They have been helping
people who are sick,

49
00:03:10,010 --> 00:03:11,230
they've been doing their best,

50
00:03:11,230 --> 00:03:14,300
and man, there have been a lot
of people who've gotten ill.

51
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,560
So we really have a lot,
lot, a lot, a lot, a lot,

52
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,310
a lot of thanks for these Medical Workers.

53
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:22,093
We're going to make a card for them.

54
00:03:22,950 --> 00:03:24,473
Get a big piece of paper.

55
00:03:26,258 --> 00:03:27,570
I'm want to make this a good card

56
00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:30,930
because I'm really thankful for

57
00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:34,610
the ambulance drivers, the
people who clean the hospitals,

58
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:37,630
the doctors, amazing people.

59
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:41,160
So I'll take one of my pens.

60
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,333
And I'm going to draw a big M.

61
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:48,003
For Medical Workers.

62
00:03:48,955 --> 00:03:51,480
Now let's turn that M into something.

63
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,760
Hmm.

64
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,384
Oh, I think I got an idea here.

65
00:03:55,384 --> 00:03:58,169
Let's do like this.

66
00:03:58,169 --> 00:04:01,169
(marker scratching)

67
00:04:07,254 --> 00:04:08,402
All right.

68
00:04:08,402 --> 00:04:10,930
It may take a little while

69
00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:12,883
to figure out what I'm thinking about.

70
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,913
Now maybe you've got a sense.

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,270
It's an ambulance.

72
00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:21,560
It's an ambulance.

73
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,530
And I'll make a shadow.

74
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:25,900
And action lines, because it's going

75
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,560
really, really fast.

76
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,323
And then I'll make the siren.

77
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:35,683
Blasting off like that.

78
00:04:37,230 --> 00:04:42,230
And I then, I'm going
to write a little note.

79
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,088
Say,

80
00:04:44,088 --> 00:04:44,921
thank

81
00:04:48,808 --> 00:04:49,641
you

82
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,133
Medical, ooh I hope it fits.

83
00:04:57,230 --> 00:05:01,955
Workers!

84
00:05:01,955 --> 00:05:02,788
Exclamation point!

85
00:05:03,710 --> 00:05:04,960
It fit.

86
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,930
And then I'm going to take,
let's go back to my blue,

87
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:11,393
I want to make sure that I sign it,

88
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,290
Mo, so that when I put it in my window

89
00:05:16,290 --> 00:05:19,520
any Medical Workers are driving by

90
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,230
they'll see that I signed it.

91
00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:25,920
And today is May 7th, and
I'll stamp it like that.

92
00:05:27,659 --> 00:05:28,826
Put that back.

93
00:05:30,425 --> 00:05:31,508
Look at that.

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,433
Medical Workers.

95
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:38,433
So look, I am an author,
and an illustrator,

96
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,800
and a doodler, and now I'm a thanker.

97
00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:47,140
Because I thanked the Medical Workers

98
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,190
with this poster.

99
00:05:49,190 --> 00:05:51,010
Put that over there.

100
00:05:51,010 --> 00:05:56,010
Well let's also thank the
Medical Workers with a song.

101
00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:58,860
I wrote the lyrics to a song.

102
00:05:58,860 --> 00:06:00,270
But I did not write the music

103
00:06:00,270 --> 00:06:01,790
because I do not know how to write music.

104
00:06:01,790 --> 00:06:05,018
So I got my friend,
Debbie Wicks La Puma...

105
00:06:05,018 --> 00:06:05,851
(snaps)

106
00:06:05,851 --> 00:06:07,192
- Hello!

107
00:06:07,192 --> 00:06:08,870
(snaps)

108
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:11,980
- To write the music for this song.

109
00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:13,670
Now Debbie Wicks La Puma's a good friend.

110
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:15,490
She is my composer.

111
00:06:15,490 --> 00:06:16,910
I have my own composer.

112
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:20,240
And she wrote and composed the music

113
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,480
to "Don't Let the Pigeon
Drive the Bus! The Musical,"

114
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,180
which was recently at the Kennedy Center.

115
00:06:26,180 --> 00:06:27,870
And this song.

116
00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:30,300
So let's get ready to sing the song.

117
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:34,760
But before we do, I need
to make an instrument.

118
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,340
Because at the end of the song

119
00:06:36,340 --> 00:06:38,580
I'm going to do a musical solo.

120
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:41,100
So I am going to create a piano.

121
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,100
See if you want to create a piano with me.

122
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:47,840
Piano is pretty easy to create.

123
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,230
What you do is you take
a big piece of paper,

124
00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:52,003
and down the middle,

125
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,053
make a line.

126
00:06:58,180 --> 00:06:59,160
I'm going to do that again.

127
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,260
I'm going to make another
line, but this way.

128
00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:04,000
And I'll make another line.

129
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,650
Uh, this is fun.

130
00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:07,550
I'm just going to keep making lines

131
00:07:08,458 --> 00:07:09,623
while I make my piano.

132
00:07:11,850 --> 00:07:14,410
Maybe I'll stick another
little line in there.

133
00:07:14,410 --> 00:07:19,083
Then I'm going to make a
couple squares, like this.

134
00:07:20,343 --> 00:07:23,660
Two here because they're friends.

135
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:25,510
Then I'll put one here.

136
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:27,690
It's a little bit lonely, but that's okay.

137
00:07:27,690 --> 00:07:29,823
And then another one here.

138
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,160
Now, I'm going to take my scissors,

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,380
if you need a grown-up to
help you with your scissors

140
00:07:38,380 --> 00:07:42,660
you can do that, and just cut along here.

141
00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:44,501
(groans)

142
00:07:44,501 --> 00:07:46,710
See, I may need a grown-up to help me.

143
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:48,310
I'm not very good with scissors.

144
00:07:49,596 --> 00:07:52,133
All right, I'll put that
piece of paper back.

145
00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:53,690
And the scissors.

146
00:07:53,690 --> 00:07:55,680
And I got a little piano.

147
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,578
Let me just tune it.

148
00:07:56,578 --> 00:07:58,330
♪ Dum ♪

149
00:07:58,330 --> 00:08:00,040
Yeah, okay, that's going to be good.

150
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,560
So I've got my music, my piano,

151
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,890
it's been composed.

152
00:08:04,890 --> 00:08:09,230
I'm going to get my robot friend, Battery.

153
00:08:09,230 --> 00:08:11,800
I call this little guy Battery.

154
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,580
He's going to help me sing.

155
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:14,610
- [Battery] Battery hi.

156
00:08:14,610 --> 00:08:15,579
- Hi Battery.

157
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,560
- [Battery] Zero, one, seven.

158
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,120
- Okay, are you guys ready to sing,

159
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,760
to sing along with me, to
thank the Medical Workers?

160
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,813
Here we go.

161
00:08:29,340 --> 00:08:30,173
Here we go.

162
00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:32,550
Battery?

163
00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:35,270

164
00:08:35,270 --> 00:08:37,060
Battery, are you there?

165
00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:39,410
Not pressing, pressing play.

166
00:08:39,410 --> 00:08:41,410
Yup, is it playing?

167
00:08:41,410 --> 00:08:43,870
Nope, nope it's not playing.

168
00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:45,870
Well we have a little
technical difficulties.

169
00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:50,020
In between that, why
don't we watch me do this.

170
00:08:50,020 --> 00:08:52,187
(singing)

171
00:08:57,813 --> 00:08:58,824
Didn't work, all right.

172
00:08:58,824 --> 00:08:59,733
Ah, it worked!
Okay.
