Strangely, I was initially able to draw on an iBook with my Pencil, only to have the icon disappear later that same day.

Un-pairing and then re-pairing my Pencil (Settings > Bluetooth, tap your Pencil; then when you’re done, plug it back into your iPad to re-pair) seems to have cleared it back up for me; the icon has re-appeared in iBooks.
