The Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) has put together a list of picture books appropriate for older children and teenagers. It's a wonderful list and well worth investigating.
As a small aside, it is worthy of note that studies show that students who learn about a topic from picture books do as well on tests as students who learn about the same topic from their textbook, and those who learn from picture books have more of an emotional connection to the topic as well [Albright, "Bringing the Ice Maiden to life" - available from the school board's EBSCOhost databases].
Doubt that picture books could be relevant for anyone other than small children? Pick up one by Peter Sis.
