Time Magazine Special Report:

Why Medical Bills are Killing Us.

“Bitter Pill:To Understand why U.S. health care spending is out of control,

you just have to follow the money. This in-depth investigation of billing practices reveals that hospitals—and the executives who

run them—are gaming the system to maximize revenue and sticking patients with bills that have little relationship to the care

that’s provided. The free market in American medicine is a myth, with or without Obamacare”

By Steven Brill

Brill, Steven. “Bitter Pill: How Outrageous Pricing and Egregious Profits are Destroying Our Health Care System.”

2013 CALDECOTT MEDAL WINNER

“The 2013 Caldecott Medal winner is This Is Not My Hat, written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, published by Candlewick Press.In this darkly humorous tale, a tiny fish knows it’s wrong to steal a hat. It fits him just right. But the big fish wants his hat back. Klassen’s controlled palette, opposing narratives and subtle cues compel readers to follow the fish and imagine the consequence.“With minute changes in eyes and the slightest displacement of seagrass, Klassen’s masterful illustrations tell the story the narrator doesn’t know,” Caldecott Chair Sandra Imdieke said (ALA.org).”

The 2013 Newbery Medal Winner!

“The 2013 Newbery Medal winner is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, published by HarperCollins Children's Books, a division of HarperCollins PublishersIvan’s transformative emergence from the “Ape at Exit 8” to “The One and Only Ivan, Mighty Silverback,” comes to life through the gorilla’s own distinct narrative voice, which is filled with wry humor, deep emotion and thought-provoking insights into the nature of friendship, hope and humanity.“Katherine Applegate gives readers a unique and unforgettable gorilla’s-eye-view of the world that challenges the way we look at animals and at ourselves,” said Newbery Medal Committee Chair Steven Engelfried (ALA.org).”
