Ivy + Bean Are Back!

As I was walking by the Chronicle Books booth at the TLA Conference last week, I couldn't believe my eyes!  

There was a sign that said....

Announcing the Newest Books in the Ivy + Bean Series...Coming 2018!  

I was so excited and....

 Ivy + Bean look like they were too! 

Chronicle Books had a special pamphlet all about this big announcement that included a sneak peak into One Big Happy Family, the newest addition to one of our favorite series.

I couldn't wait to read this new series and read my old favorites too!  You will find the Ivy + Bean books here.  

As we all get ready for these new books, let's take a look inside of the very special Ivy + Bean website. 

 First, there is a special place for Kids and Readers, which includes games,

 activities,

 cards and more.

 Second, there is also a wonderful place for Teachers, Librarians and Other Grownups, which contains lots of activity kits,

 teacher guides,

 teacher-created workshops,

Ivy + Bean activities and more. 

I can't wait to see what they add for the next Ivy + Bean Day, because this was always one of our favorite celebrations each year.

Read about how John Schu and I celebrated Ivy + Bean throughout the years here.

You can follow the Ivy + Bean Facebook to stay up-to-date.

Thank you Chronicle!  You made my day and I know lots of children, librarians and teachers will be super happy and excited too!
