Ladybug Longlist: Bravery & Perseverance

Bear in a Bathrobe by Maddie Frost

"It is a cute, fun story with a great message. The illustrations are so engaging and it's so fun to read aloud." -- nominator

The Squish by Breanna Carzoo

"The illustrations are very simple, yet tell the whole story of creating something new and picking yourself back up again." -- nominator

Touch the Sky by Stephanie V. W. Lucianovic

"It captures the universal experience of a child learning something new with joyful and vibrant art." -- nominator

This post is one of a series of 15 "bite-sized" pieces into which we have divided the 2025 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.
