I am missing some picture books featuring these states. I know the lovely books in the Discover America Alphabet series have been mentioned often but I'm wanting other picture books that take place in certain states. The book doesn't have to be about the state, but must take place in the state and be a picture book.
I'm missing:
Alabama
Arkansas
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Michigan
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Utah
Washington
Wisconsin
The book can also be about a famous historical figure from this state.
Thank you.

Ten Mile Day: The Building of the Transcontinental Railroad
When the Shadbush Blooms - haven't seen this one yet but it looks good. The Delaware Indians lived in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York so could be for any of the states though it sounds like the current descendants are in PA.

Cay, more like an obsessive nut! 
If you can't tell, one of my favorite things is thematic listings particularly of picture books and related resources. Do you still need more? - I'm happy to help and will keep looking. Just went with the ones I'm familiar with. Now can start looking for unfamiliar ones since we do have a great library system to check. Are you making a personal listing or a resource that will be used elsewhere? Will we get to see the finished listing?
I also liked the list Jenica linked. But I do wish that those type lists would specify the type of book or list them separately by genre. Homeschool Share also has a picture book list by state, but it's not complete (only links to the ones they have units for) and there is also one from Alicia at Love2Learn though it is mostly chapter books.

There is a great unit study on how to teach the 50 states by using picture books. It's called Simply...Stated. I'm using it with my daughter and she really enjoys the picture books. The authors have also written a book called Simply...Presidential.

Washington: a real favorite with the locals is Wheedle on the Needle. We still point at the blinking red light and say "There's the Wheedle!!!"
