From chapters.ca:
Despite the tumour-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

John Green is also part of the Vlog Brothers project and Crash Course.  I highly recommend both his books and his internet projects.

Sneezy Louise by Irene Breznak, illustrated by Janet Pedersen

Even before breakfast, Louise knows that it isn't going to be an easy day. Her itchy eyes, wheezy throat, and very, very sneezy nose lead to trouble at school, during ballet class, and even while reading a bedtime story. Irene Breznak's rhythmic refrain is "catching" as characters implore Louise to "cover your mouth, PLEASE!" a message that parents will appreciate! Janet Pederson's charming watercolors bring Louise to life as well as that tickly, sneezy feeling familiar to everyone!

Miss Polly Has a Dolly by Pamela Duncan Edwards, illustrated by Elicia Castaldi

From chapters.ca:
Children have been chanting "Miss Polly Had a Dolly" for centuries. But the original rhyme only had eight lines. Now for the first time, Pamela Duncan Edwards expands on the original to answer the question of what happens next (they all go out for ice cream when Dolly is feeling better). Newcomer Elicia Castaldi gives Miss Polly an amazing new look that perfectly matches the spunky rhythm of the text. Musical arrangement (for piano and guitar) with finger play instructions are included on the endpapers, so kids can sing along and act out the words.
