Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge: Recent & Upcoming Releases

I love posting about new books and getting them on the radar of other readers. Though I don’t catch all of the titles, I try to share as many as possible. This month I have twenty-two titles that look fabulous. The ones I have read are amazing. I have starred those and the rest I am tracking down.

Link to January’s new release post, click here. I didn’t do an official new release post in February, but I did share a round-up post, click here.

Here is a list of just some of the new nonfiction releases that came out in March or just this week. I have only been able to read a few of the titles below but hoping to get my hands on more of them over the next few weeks.
