1
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:56,950
- Hello.

2
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:59,513
It's Mo Willems. Nice to see you.

3
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,560
I am an author, and an
illustrator, and a thanker.

4
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,450
And if you saw the video last week,

5
00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:11,510
the Thank You Thursdays video last week,

6
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:15,670
you also know that I am a terrible singer.

7
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:19,760
Well, today, we are going
to thank other people,

8
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,090
because I like thanking.

9
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:24,300
Matter of fact, I've got
a lot to be thankful for,

10
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:26,030
even on bad days.

11
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:29,760
Like today, I'm thankful
that the internet exists,

12
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,870
and that I can talk to you right now,

13
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:36,600
and that we can make a
card for someone to thank,

14
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440
and that we can sing a song,

15
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,515
and that I can sing that song poorly.

16
00:01:41,349 --> 00:01:42,987
Right.

17
00:01:42,987 --> 00:01:47,987
So, let's go to the
Thank-O-Rama spinning wheel

18
00:01:48,402 --> 00:01:49,630
[snap]

19
00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:51,850
and see who we're going to thank.

20
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:54,390
I'm going to count down from three,

21
00:01:54,390 --> 00:01:57,040
and you're all going to say "spin."

22
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,390
And then, the wheel will spin,

23
00:01:58,390 --> 00:02:00,340
and we'll see who we're
going to thank today.

24
00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:01,180
Ready?

25
00:02:01,180 --> 00:02:04,553
Three, two, one, spin!

26
00:02:06,103 --> 00:02:07,550
Oh, it's spinning, it's
spinning, it's spinning.

27
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:08,383
It stopped

28
00:02:08,383 --> 00:02:09,216
[snap]

29
00:02:10,732 --> 00:02:12,660
on Food Workers.

30
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:16,120
Oh, that is a good group
of people to thank.

31
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,410
There's so many people
who are getting food

32
00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:21,670
from farms to other people,

33
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:25,780
to grocery stores, who are
delivering food from restaurants.

34
00:02:25,780 --> 00:02:28,812
It's a pretty intense job
that they're doing right now,

35
00:02:28,812 --> 00:02:30,853
so I want to make sure that we make

36
00:02:30,853 --> 00:02:32,800
a really good card for them.

37
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,470
So, I forgot to do this.

38
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:36,380
Let's pause if you want.

39
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:38,070
If you don't have it already,

40
00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:41,200
bring a piece of paper, couple pens,

41
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,730
and later on, we're going
to need some scissors,

42
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:47,495
and maybe a grown-up to
help with the scissoring.

43
00:02:47,495 --> 00:02:49,079
Okay, that good?

44
00:02:49,079 --> 00:02:50,662
Get it, yeah, okay.

45
00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:52,803
Play.

46
00:02:52,803 --> 00:02:54,240
All right, there we go.

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,365
I have my big piece of paper,

48
00:02:59,365 --> 00:03:01,348
and it's Food Workers.

49
00:03:02,271 --> 00:03:07,266
I'm going to do a big F for food.

50
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:11,183
Well, let's see, what can I do with that?

51
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:14,853
Hmm, oh, I know.

52
00:03:19,220 --> 00:03:21,863
It's kind of like a bird food worker.

53
00:03:24,970 --> 00:03:29,661
And he's, or she, or they

54
00:03:29,661 --> 00:03:34,161
are delivering a bird pizza.

55
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,260
Box is a little small.

56
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:42,900
And boy, this bird has a tail.

57
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:44,780
Right, why not?

58
00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:49,123
And then, I got to say, whoop:

59
00:03:53,860 --> 00:03:57,185
Thank You

60
00:03:59,243 --> 00:04:03,808
Food Workers.

61
00:04:03,808 --> 00:04:05,965
Oh, I hope I fit.

62
00:04:05,965 --> 00:04:07,333
Whew, I do.

63
00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:10,703
Thank you Food Workers.

64
00:04:11,823 --> 00:04:16,200
Now, what I'm going to do is
I'm going to write my name.

65
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,500
I always do that so that when
they put this in the window,

66
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:24,669
somebody who's a Food Worker
will see that I did it,

67
00:04:24,669 --> 00:04:29,485
and I've stamped it today, May 14th.

68
00:04:31,026 --> 00:04:32,470
Okay.

69
00:04:32,470 --> 00:04:36,180
That is my thank you Food Workers poster

70
00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:39,393
with a bird delivering a bird pizza.

71
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,980
Can I see yours?

72
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:42,930
Will you hold yours up?

73
00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:44,150
Oh.

74
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:46,570
Yeah, oh, that's pretty funny.

75
00:04:46,570 --> 00:04:48,510
I like how some of you took this idea,

76
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:49,750
and some of you didn't.

77
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:52,200
You just made up your own things.

78
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,560
That's really great.

79
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,270
All right, we're going
to get ready to sing

80
00:04:58,270 --> 00:05:00,943
the Thank You Food Workers song.

81
00:05:02,617 --> 00:05:04,660
Now, I wrote the lyrics,
the words to the song,

82
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:06,380
but I did not write the music.

83
00:05:06,380 --> 00:05:09,887
My friend and composer
Debbie Wicks La Puma.

84
00:05:09,887 --> 00:05:10,720
[snap]

85
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,069
- Hi there.

86
00:05:12,069 --> 00:05:13,340
[snap]

87
00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:15,970
- Wrote the music to this song.

88
00:05:15,970 --> 00:05:19,400
And Debbie Wicks La Puma
also wrote the music

89
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,799
to "Naked Mole Rat Gets
Dressed: The Rock Experience."

90
00:05:23,799 --> 00:05:26,000
That's right, I wrote a rock opera

91
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,160
based on the book "Naked
Mole Rat Gets Dressed."

92
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,160
And because of that, before we
sing, I think our instrument

93
00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:37,660
that we're going to do
a solo on at the end

94
00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:39,483
should be a guitar.

95
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:44,990
Now, a guitar is easy to
draw if you know your numbers

96
00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:46,670
and your shapes.

97
00:05:46,670 --> 00:05:49,300
So I'm going to make
my piece of paper big.

98
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:53,440
And on the top half of my
paper, just in the top half,

99
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,773
I'm going to write a number 11.

100
00:06:00,410 --> 00:06:04,533
Now, on the super-tippy top,
I'm going to make a square.

101
00:06:05,850 --> 00:06:08,190
And now, I'm going to
take my piece of paper,

102
00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:12,553
and go sideways, and I'm going
to draw the number eight.

103
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:15,170
Well, it's a sideways eight.

104
00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:17,090
I should've drawn it
that way, up like that.

105
00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:21,530
Anyway, I drew a number eight,
and inside I circle that in.

106
00:06:21,530 --> 00:06:23,450
And now I go sideways.

107
00:06:23,450 --> 00:06:25,760
It kind of looks like a guitar.

108
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,100
I am going to put a little
plug on it, because I love it.

109
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:31,750
That makes it an electric guitar.

110
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,430
And you can, but you don't have to,

111
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:40,590
kind of roughly cut it out.

112
00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:43,750
If you're not good with
scissors, then you're like me,

113
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:45,340
and that's okay.

114
00:06:45,340 --> 00:06:47,390
And if you want to have a grown-up

115
00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:50,120
or maybe who's somebody who's scissor-ly,

116
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,053
more scissor-ly, you
can have them help you.

117
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:58,773
I'm just going to make
my guitar pretty basic.

118
00:07:01,354 --> 00:07:05,195
It's more fun to play
when I have it on my lap.

119
00:07:07,071 --> 00:07:07,904
All right.

120
00:07:11,757 --> 00:07:14,680
I'm going to save this paper for later,

121
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,350
because I may have a project
that I want to use that for.

122
00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:19,950
That'll be fun.

123
00:07:19,950 --> 00:07:21,630
Okay, I have a little guitar.

124
00:07:21,630 --> 00:07:25,380
All right, let's thank
Food Workers with our song.

125
00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:29,113
Remember our friend Battery
is going to help us sing.

126
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:31,140
- [Battery] Battery, hi.

127
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:31,973
- Hi, Battery.

128
00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:33,660
- [Battery] Zero, one, seven.

129
00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:36,810
- All right, the words will be
on the bottom of the screen.

130
00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:38,221
Let me just tune up.

131
00:07:38,221 --> 00:07:42,350
(imitating guitar twanging)

132
00:07:42,350 --> 00:07:45,040
And don't worry if you
don't sing very well.

133
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,160
You sing better than I do.

134
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:47,993
Here we go.

135
00:07:49,597 --> 00:07:52,081
