My heart is full after a week with family in beautiful Belize. We spent half the week in the jungle exploring caves and Mayan archaeological sites, then the second half on Caye Caulker, sailing and snorkeling (highlight: swimming with sea turtles!).

Maryland/DC families, I hope you are enjoying our winter wonderland conditions! I also hope you will join me for a snowy SUNDAY Storytime at People's Book in Takoma Park this coming Sunday, 1/12, at 9:30 am. Snowy songs, stories, and crafts! RSVP here: peoplesbooktakoma.com/event/snow-is-…

I just sent out my newsletter, this one entitled "Snow, Ice Cream, and Other Cold Stuff." It included info about my new book (SNOW IS...) and my new obsession (making ice cream). It also included a giveaway. To receive future newsletters, sign up here: lauragehl.com/contact/

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I hope you enjoy this book trailer that my daughter created for ORSON AND THE WORLD'S LOUDEST LIBRARY. The book is available for pre-order now and out in April.

After winning the Cybils Award for best board book a few weeks ago, this lift-the-flap book got its second bit of exciting news today--a Blueberry Honor for one of the best nature books of 2024! I'm happy that these awards will help our book find its way into more little hands.

My author copies have arrived! I can't wait to share this book with readers in less than two weeks.

ORSON AND THE WORLD’S LOUDEST LIBRARY is out today! This book is a love letter to libraries and also to all the kids (and adults, like me!) who crave quiet. ORSON is about the ways that libraries not only connect people to books but also connect book-lovers to one another.

Hooray! ¡Hurra! A new bilingual board book edition of DONUT, illustrated by the amazing Andrea Zuill, is out today! Random House Children's Books

Grateful for two new glowing reviews! Thank you Kirkus Reviews and SchoolLibraryJournal! DONUT/ROSQUILLA is out now, and THE ELEVATOR ON 74th STREET is available for pre-order.

I can't even describe how excited I am about this book that Julia Patton and I get to put out into the world! It is about bunnies who defend their forest from a dastardly new resident not with weapons but with poetry and baked goods. Available for pre-order! Beaming Books
