• be currently in print
• possess strong child appeal
• have artistic quality with text that supports the illustrations

****NEW THIS YEAR: Due to librarian input, we will be opening up the Ladybug Picture Book Award to include 4th graders. If you are able to include 4th graders in the Ladybug process, please do so!****
You may nominate as many books as you’d like, but they must follow the above criteria and you will need to complete the nomination survey separately for each nominated book.
The long-list of nominated titles will be announced in late January.
