Based on votes from New Hampshire's library community, including a tie-breaker, we have chosen The Ladybug Picture Book Award nominees for the 2022 Ladybug Picture Book Award. New Hampshire children, from preschool to third grade, will select the winning picture book when they vote in November 2022.
