The volume focuses on systems of healthcare rather than individual narratives of illness. It examines how children are socialized into knowledge about healthcare. Essays explore critiques of existing systems embedded in children's literature, analyze how children's books might be used for health literacy education, and examine children's film and television for visions of alternative systems and solutions to ethical dilemmas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors in \u003ci\u003eHealthcare in Children's Media\u003c\/i\u003e draw upon interdisciplinary approaches including disability studies, gender studies, public health, bibliotherapy, and posthumanism. Essays examine care systems in the US, the UK, Germany, India, and Iran, and also offer a breadth of historical perspective ranging from the turn of the twentieth century through our present times and into projections of future bioethical and posthuman dilemmas. This volume adds fresh works to archives of health literacy books, with analytic perspectives on race and disability that medical writers might not consider.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naomi Lesley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Children's Literature Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496857859","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44002770976905,"sku":"9781496857859","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_711ee18a-00b7-4ca3-ae72-8a80f53a0098.jpg?v=1747720470","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/healthcare-in-childrens-media-9781496857859","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
