Ladybug Nominee Profile

William Joyce saw the curative power of stories after hurricane Katrina and was inspired to create both a short film and a book to tell the story of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. Prior to the publication of this book, Joyce was a speaker at the National Book Festival. Joe Bluhm illustrated this book and he posted on his blog about working on it.
