Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge: January New Releases

Recently, I started looking for nonfiction titles that will be released in 2019. I have been scrolling through publisher catalogs, online book review sites, and searching for favorite nonfiction authors to see when their next books are being released. I currently have shelved 116 titles to read. Each month, I will attempt to share those new titles with you.

Here are eleven new titles that were recently released. Unfortunately, at this point, I haven’t gotten my hands on them to check for quality but after I have a chance to read them, I will share my favorites.
