31 Days, 31 Lists: 2020 Nonfiction Picture Books
In some ways, these are the books I'm the most excited about. Welcome to the end of 2020! And welcome to a list of truly wonderful books.
Review of the Day: Drawing on Walls by Matthew Burgess, ill. Josh Cochran
Drawing On Walls is the kind of book that you wish other writers of children’s nonfiction would read. A story that justifies its very existence by justifying the very existence of its subject.
Review of the Day: Rescuing the Declaration of Independence by Anna Crowley Redding, ill. Edwin Fotheringham
The true story of the man responsible for keeping key American documents out of the hands of the invading British in 1812. A book about the rescue of ideas put to paper.

Review of the Day: Clever Hans by Kerri Kokias, ill. Mike Lowery
I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all to suggest that this book pretty much has it all. For the animal lovers, a cute and smart colt. For the mystery lovers, a true tale that lays out the clues, the detectives, and the surprising solution. And for lovers of science, this is a superb recounting of how people learn more about the natural world around them.
Review of the Day: Honeybee by Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann
Great writing for kids, when you encounter it, reminds you that there is always a new way to look at this old, familiar world of ours. If you buy only one bee book for the rest of your life, make it this one.
