Non-Fiction Memoir
At last, the puppeteer who has performed Elmo for nearly
twenty years comes out from behind the stage to share his
story. Weaving together his memories of growing up with the
life lessons gained from his furry red alter ego, Kevin
reveals himself to be as caring, and as eager to grow and
learn and love, as the very special character he brings to life. You will discover how young Kevin honed his talent
entertaining the kids in his mother’s home day care with
puppets he made from slippers and coat liners; how, as a
struggling young artist, he realized his dream to meet and
then work for his idol, Muppet creator Jim Henson; and how
each and every day of performing Elmo reinforces for him
what is most important in life. As Kevin has been inspired by Elmo, now we can all learn
from his furry red ways. Kevin’s (and Elmo’s) thoughts on
love, creativity, friendship, and optimism remind us of
life’s simple truths and ultimately encourage us all to be a
little bit more like Elmo–to live with joy, to love more
easily, and to laugh more often.
