A groundbreaking examination of how the Affordable Care Act built public trust, withstood opposition, and redefined civic engagement. Can a bold new social program cultivate a supportive constituency, even as it is buffeted by political turbulence? In Against All Odds, Lawrence Jacobs, Ling Zhu, and Suzanne Mettler track the improbable journey of the Affordable Care Act, from its launch and fraught implementation, through years of fiery resistance to today, when it stands accepted as a pillar of U.S. health policy. Expanding coverage to millions, the law gradually softened polarization--even amongst Republicans--by delivering tangible benefits and restoring confidence that government can meet public needs.

Two Caldecott honorees--and real-life best friends-- team up to illustrate a story of friendship from bestselling author Julie Fogliano. Like the two stars of this story, illustrators Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal know that differences only make a good friendship stronger. In this bouncy, rhyming story, two best friends think about all the little things that don't matter- and the big things that really, really do. With each artist designing and drawing one character, and collaborating on the scenery and details, Molly Idle and Juana Martinez-Neal transformed this sweet story into a celebration of friendship- including their own- and a unique artistic vision. Working remotely, they swapped drawings across the country, using a limited palette of teal and yellow over graphite. As artwork passed back and forth between their mailboxes, childhood versions of each artist came to life and came together on the page into one unified creation.
