Based on two rounds of voting by New Hampshire's library community we have chosen The Ladybug Picture Book Award nominees for the 2023 Ladybug Picture Book Award. New Hampshire children, from preschool to third grade, will select the winning picture book when they vote in November 2023. The deadline for sending in votes will be Sunday, December 17, 2023 at 11:30pm. Voting materials will be posted on the Ladybug web page in June and a voting guide will be released around Labor Day.
