There are different books by Beverly Cleary (who died in March 2021) depicting mainly girls in bibs. I first found Henry and the Paper Route. I think it's character Ramona Quimby sitting in bibs, color cover on old edition by Avon Camelot. She is 6 yo in one book, 8 in another. On a recent edition there are older looking b&w illustrations by Louis Darling. Also in "Henry and the Clubhouse" and "Ramona the Brave".
Another book with an (older ?) girl riding in bibs is "Emily's Runaway Imagination" 1920s farm setting. Another young girl in Beezus and Ramona.
I have briefly checked some contents. In most books there are few or no mentionings of bibs, at least not in the preview. There are 8 hits of overalls in Emily's Runaway Imagination. Maybe there are siblings or other relatives in bibs as well?
A boy in bibs in the picture book The Hullabaloo ABC (also inside). Boy is quite young. There are better books.
