Crushes of the Week: March 11 - 17, 2018

I get to look at a fair number of picture books (old, new, and forthcoming) every week, and that makes it tough to cover them all here on the site. There are many, many, MANY more books out there that deserve special mention, and I want to do my best to get the word out about them however I can, even if it's in a small way. Therefore I'm going to try something new called "Picture Book Crushes of the Week," which is exactly what it sounds like: recently-read picture books I love every week. No number limits, no publication date restrictions, just books I discover each week that strike me and deserve special shout-outs.

Here are this week's:

1. Hidden City: Poems of Urban Wildlife by Sarah Grace Tuttle and Amy Schimler-Safford (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, March 2018)
2. The Beauty and the Beast by Gabrielle-Suzanna Barbot de Villenueve and Minalima (HarperCollins Publishers, February 2017)
3. The Fish and the Cat by Marianne Dubuc (Princeton Architectural Press, April 2018)
4. I Give You My Heart by Pimm van Hest and Sassafras De Bruyn (Clavis, November 2017)
5. Mommy's Khimar by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and Ebony Glenn (Salaam Reads, April 2018)
6. Mabel and Sam at Home by Linda Urban and Hadley Hooper (Chronicle Books, June 2018)
7. Neither by Airlie Anderson (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, February 2018)
