Ladybug Longlist: Emotions

All We Need is Love and a Really Soft Pillow by Peter H. Reynolds and Henry Rocket Reynolds

"Heartwarming, adorable!" --nominator

Evergreen by Matthew Cordell

"Beautiful Illustrations with a map of the forest inside the cover. A story about finding courage and making friends along the way. A fun surprise at the end when we find out who Granny Oak is." --nominator 1

"... shares common fears and anxieties in an engaging and relatable way." --nominator 2

I am a Tornado by Drew Beckmeyer

"I am nominating this book because I feel like it is a great representation of how children are feeling most times. Beckmeyer has done an excellent job at showing how one comes to understand their feelings even when they may think nothing is wrong." --nominator

You Go First by Ariel Bernstein and Marc Rosenthal

"A funny read-aloud about friendship and putting the needs of others first." --nominator

This post is one of a series of 12 "bite-sized" pieces into which we have divided the 2024 Ladybug Picture Book Award Long List to help NH librarians consider all the potential nominees. Please review the full list (or wait until we have covered all the titles) before you cast your vote as you can only vote once.
