Newbery Award
The Newbery Medal, named after 18th-century British bookseller John Newbery, is one of the most prestigious awards in children's literature. Established in 1922 by the American Library Association (ALA), the Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished American children's book published in the previous year. The award committee evaluates nominees based on literary quality, originality, presentation, and relevance to childrens literature. The book should demonstrate excellence in narrative and character development, as well as appeal to the intended audience. In addition to the medal winner, the committee also designates several Honor Books each year. These titles are recognized for their merit and are considered outstanding contributions to childrens literature, though they do not receive the medal.
