These (mostly) young picture books cover big topics. They were especially helpful to me in thinking about sharing complex information in focused and poetic/lyrical ways, using layered text, and sharing maximum information in minimal word counts. They influenced my Can Be… books, If You Were the Moon (Millbrook, 2017), and If You Want to Knit Some Mittens (Boyds Mills, forthcoming).
