I had a great time celebrating World Read Aloud Day yesterday with some awesome students!

So much World Read Aloud Day fun going on here!

For #kidlitartpostcard day today, here's some art from my upcoming book, NO BEAR ANYWHERE, out May 14 from BloomsburyUS Kids/YA! I'm an author/illustrator repped by Adria Goetz at KT Literary, and I love to draw silly and sweet characters and heartfelt and humorous stories. #kidlit

This week I read The Perfect Plan with my K-2 students. After we read they worked in groups to plan and create forts out of Legos or KEVA® Planks. Such fun creations! LEGO Leah Gilbert

Such wonderful fort-builders! 😍

They're here!! 👀👀 NO BEAR ANYWHERE hits shelves 5/14 (only 6 weeks away—no joke! 😱) 🐻🐻🐻 #unboxing #kidlit

Can't wait! Illinois friends, I hope to see you there!

3 WEEKS (tomorrow) until No Bear Anywhere is out, and I've got some fun events coming up to celebrate! If you're in southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois, I hope I'll see you at one (or more!) of these fun events. Find more info about each event here: leah-gilbert.com/events

Yay!! See you next week at Anderson's Bookshops! 🐻🐻🐻

Happy book birthday to NO BEAR ANYWHERE written and illustrated by Leah Gilbert 🎉 🎉 🎉 This picture book is a sweet story about not finding what you're looking for, but still finding something worthwhile 🐻 leah-gilbert.com/books/no-bear-…

I had the BEST time celebrating the launch of NO BEAR ANYWHERE on Saturday at my local indie! We read the book (spoiler alert: there ARE bears 🤫), made telescopes, and went on a bear scavenger hunt! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to help celebrate!🎉🐻 #booklaunch

NO BEAR ANYWHERE has been out in the world for a week! Have YOU seen any bears?? 👀🐻🐻🐻 #kidlit #picturebook

Join me TOMORROW for storytime The Book Stall! I'll be reading and signing my new book, NO BEAR ANYWHERE, and then we'll make our own telescopes and go on a scavenger hunt through the store. What better way to start off summer?? See you there! 🐻🐻🐻

Loved my visit to the wonderful The Book Stall on Saturday! These kids were 💯 GREAT at taking turns pointing things out in the illustrations 🐻🐻🐻 If you missed the event, you can find some signed copies of NO BEAR ANYWHERE and THE PERFECT PLAN at the store!

A bit belated, but I just recently saw this super lovely review from Booklist and wanted to share! "A glorious modern companion to Michael Rosen’s recitable We’re Going on a Bear Hunt" gives me all the 😍😍 Thanks, ALA_Booklist! See the full review here: booklistonline.com/No-Bear-Anywhe…
