It turns out Absolutely Not is one of ten books nominated for this year’s LADYBUG Picture Book Award.

The LADYBUG award was created by the Children’s Librarians of New Hampshire to complement the Great Stone Face Award. A committee of children’s librarians from around the state picks ten picture book titles a year to compete for the Ladybug Award. During Children’s Book Week in November, New Hampshire children from preschoolers to grade three select the winner.

As a result of this nomination, I will be setting up a campaign office in Concord, effective immediately. Children of New Hampshire, can I expect your vote this November?
