Named after 18th-century British bookseller John Newbery, the medal recognizes outstanding children's books, emphasizing quality storytelling, character development, and thematic depth. Each year, the award highlights a single winning book, along with several Newbery Honor Books that also demonstrate exceptional merit. The Newbery Medal has a long history of showcasing works that resonate with young readers and often become classics, encouraging a lifelong love of reading and fostering the growth of children's literature.
