We love @briangehrlein.bsky.social’s THIS IS NOT A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK 🐻
Readers will giggle as author Brian Gehrlein’s expertly crafted narrative tension—and Owl’s frustration—gradually builds in THIS IS NOT A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK, a heartfelt, hilarious exploration of the upsides of trying out a new attitude.

Amen!
I have the courage to write. I have the courage to show my work, voice my ideas, to be vulnerable, to put myself out there, take risks, make mistakes, fail, endure disappointment — and to put myself out there and try again.

Really excited for you to read this series. I wanted to write something unapologetically joyful and low-stakes set in a huge, immersive kitchen-sink world. It's brimming with humour and kindness and whimsy, and I hope you'll love hanging out in the Otherworld with Poppy and Broomhilda. 🧹✨

Have you picked up your copy of The Gift Shop Bear yet? I just saw there are only 3 copies left on Amazon! Oh dear! But you can also get a copy wherever books are sold, although you may need to ask them to order one for you. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/phyll...

Glory, indeed!
Her name is Glory. This lovely #Appaloosa #mare appears to be dancing as she approaches the strange person in her #pasture. $PikesPeak is putting in a lovely appearance in the background on this #ranch in Elbert, #Colorado.

They were 2 of the very first dogs I ever saved. Britney and King Whacker were as good as dead.

To see them meet up this week in Scotland brought a little tear to my eye. Look at their little jackets for the cold!

I saw this post from @charlienutbrown.bsky.social & I have to find this book♥️ #UKKidlit

I’m also thinking that FINDING CHRISTMAS might just the place where our book will thrive, with its old-school storytelling & illustrations.

US #kidlit - Get ready for a new perennial favorite!
