Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday - Giveaway

As part of the Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge, I try to give a heads up on new releases for the month; however, lately I am having trouble tracking down nonfiction picture books released for the month.  Typically, I have used a couple of sources to find new nonfiction picture books prior to their release.  I tend to be picky.  I am not interested in the standard issue hot teen bios or mass series produced titles.  I am looking for quality nonfiction picture book biographies, poetry, or information text. Lately, those sources have not been as reliable for pointing me in the direction of new titles.  Consequently, I am reaching out to you my wonderful readers to say - how do you track down new nonfiction releases?  What titles do you know that are being released in June and July?

If you take a moment to fill out the rafflecopter below with some titles or sources, you will be entered for a chance to win a nonfiction picture book of your choice (worth $20 or less and available through Amazon or Book Depository).
