I recently decided to make a long delayed return to a genre where I had [early publishing success](https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-689-83399-1), upper-level picture books. Given that I now have school-aged children, I have a number of stories that I made up for bedtimes that are ripe for being turned into books. In particular, I have three that I am particularly happy with, and that I've made progress at turning into manuscripts. I know that you would never try to sell more than one novel at once, but what about picture books? When I'm ready for queries again, should I query just one, or all three at once? If I'm only querying one, is it an advantage to mention the others? (Given how long it's been since I published in the field, I want to make it clear it's not going to be another fifteen year gap between books.)
