Three Best Picture Books I Read in March

I set a goal at the beginning of the year to read 400 books.  Before anyone assumes I'm some kind of reading-machine, this is a combination of picture books and chapter books.  My main goal was to read an average of one picture book per day, plus 35 chapter books. A0s March approached, I was already about 80% behind on this goal.  Pathetic.

While I've tried to catch up, I have read some pretty great picture books.  My favorites so far:

Bunnybear by Andrea J. Loney; pictures by Carmen Saldaña. 

A bear who feels more like a bunny seeks out bunny friends.  A cute story about acceptance and being true to who you are.  Love it!

Wolf in the Snow by Matthew Cordell.

Read this if you're into crying and sweet animal stories.  [Disclaimer:  no animals die in this book.  I'd want to know...]

 Two White Rabbits by Jairo Buitrago; illustrations by Rafael Yockteng; translation by Elisa Amado.

This is a reread for me, but it's so timely I couldn't put it down for something new.  I love Buitrago and Yockteng's book, Jimmy the Greatest, and the idea that you don't have to be the 'greatest' to be great.  This story of a young girl and her father's journey to the U.S. border makes your heart hurt and reminds us that adults are not the only people looking for a better life here.

Here's a complete list of picture books I've read in 2017.
