From the Publisher
Since its debut in 1923, the iconic Newbery Medal has stood as the premier award in children's literature, honoring the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), the Newbery Medal is the oldest and most prestigious children's book award in the world.
The Newbery Medal was named after eighteenth-century British bookseller John Newbery, a pioneer in publishing books exclusively for children. The medal was conceived by Frederic G. Melcher, a prominent figure in the children's book publishing industry, who proposed the award to the Children's Librarians' Section of the ALA in 1921. The first Newbery Medal was awarded in 1922 to Hendrik Van Loon for his book "The Story of Mankind."
Over the decades, the Newbery Medal has become synonymous with excellence in children's literature, serving as a benchmark for the highest quality in storytelling, character development, and literary merit. The medal has played a pivotal role in shaping the literary landscape, introducing generations of young readers to acclaimed authors and timeless tales.
The Newbery Award-winning books have captivated and inspired readers of all ages, from the heartwarming adventures of "Where the Red Fern Grows" by Wilson Rawls to the thought-provoking explorations of "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. These books have not only entertained but also challenged and enlightened young minds, tackling complex themes and often exploring the human experience in profound and meaningful ways.
The Newbery Medal's enduring legacy is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring impact of literature on the lives of young readers. Each year, the anticipation and excitement surrounding the announcement of the newest Newbery Medal winner are palpable, as the literary community and book lovers eagerly await the unveiling of the next great work of children's literature.
As the Newbery Medal continues to shine a light on the most exceptional children's books, it serves as a reminder of the transformative power of the written word and the vital role that literature plays in the lives of young people. The medal's prestigious status and the lasting influence of its award-winning titles have cemented its place as a cherished and revered institution in the world of children's literature.
