@colbycollege: During Colby’s 205th Commencement ceremony, Mo Willems led a call-and-response reading of his book ‘Me and Other Bunnies,’ asking the audience to repeat his words. Jedidiah Mamah, 5, a cousin of computer science major Joshua Iyonsi ’26, went the extra mile echoing every response with his own solo call, after the audience responded with its own. Willems gave the book to Jedidiah after the speech. #Colby2026 #ColbyCollege #ClassOf2026 #MoWillems #Inspirational
The little voice being an echo of their future has me bawling

Librarian here. I've avoided reading this in storytime because I thought it was too short but I will be doing it this way in my next storytime.

The little “and I am still me” at the end with it dead silent in the room really brings this full circle 🥹

Probably the last “read aloud” book the will have read to them. Even through the humor, this is a special moment.

I teach Kindergarten and we read his books almost daily. I just got a glimpse of what it must be like for the kids to listen to me read.

Watching big kids graduate and listening to the little kid read the book back was just so EPIC and truly ADORABLE. It truly was full circle and loving.

He could have been annoyed at the kids echoed, delayed responses messing up his planned rhythm. But instead he made space for them, and it became better.
