Ladybug Nominee Profile

Mo Willems' Nanette's Baguette, follows our plucky heroine on her first big solo trip to the bakery. But . . . will Nanette get the baguette from baker Juliette? Or will Nanette soon be beset with regret? 

Set in a meticulously handcrafted-paper-modeled French village, this is a book you will want to krack into. To see how the village was crafted check out the video. If you want to make your own baguettes there are traditional methods, and almost-no-knead methods to consider.

Mr. Willem's work has been nominated for the Ladybug Picture Book Award before: City Dog, Country Frog was nominated in 2011 and Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale  in 2005.  
 

This is one of the ten titles nominated for the 2017 Ladybug Picture Book Award.
