SUMMARY:No Bear Anywhere: Saturday Storytime with Leah Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) is delighted to host children's author and illustrator Leah Gilbert on Saturday\, June 8 at 10:30 am for a Saturday Storytime featuring her new title\, No Bear Anywhere! A young boy learns to cope with disappointment and embrace the unexpected in this playful and charming picture book. She will be happy to sign her works! This book is perfect for kids ages 3 to 6. \n\n \n\nMore About the Book: When Bruin's family takes a walk on Bear Creek Trail\, Bruin is determined to spot a bear. Before too long\, Bruin gets excited\, he's noticed a . . . pinecone! It's not a bear\, but it's still great. A few minutes later\, Bruin stops once again! He's seen a . . . flower! No bear anywhere\, but there's still plenty of time. Eventually\, they make it all the way to the . . . cave! But when Bruin enters the cave\, and there is no bear anywhere\, he's as sad as could be. This day is not going his way. Can Bruin turn his no-bear day around? (And when all is said and done\, maybe\, just maybe\, it won't be a no-bear day after all!)\n\n \n\nLeah Gilbert's gorgeous art shines in this heartfelt story about finding wonder and joy in the world around us\, even when life takes unexpected turns.\n\n \n\nMore About the Author: Leah Gilbert is an author and illustrator whose books include A Couch for Llama and The Perfect Plan. When she's not writing and illustrating\, you might find her outdoors with her family walking on trails near and far\, though she has not yet encountered a bear (that she's aware of). She lives in Wisconsin with her husband\, son\, dog\, and a large assortment of rocks and pinecones. You can find out more about her HERE. \n\n \n\nThe Book Stall is an independent bookstore and cultural institution on Chicago's North Shore. We're known for our great selection of books\, cards\, and gifts\, as well as our long-running author event series\, including Saturday Storytime. Learn more at www.thebookstall.com.
