  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

    PROJECT NEWSLETTER SEATTLE STEWARDSHIP Shout out to all those that gave their time and donations to the Rainier Valley Food Bank (RVFB)! RVFB’s mission is to nourish with good food, empower with knowledge, and serve with compassion. RVFB is currently the busiest food bank in Seattle, out of 26 area food banks, operating from its tiny 1,200-square foot facility. The food bank fulfi lls over 6,000 requests for food each month. Learn more about our impact on the community. More information at www.rvfb.org People who gave also had the opportunity to track their donations as part of the, Dear 2020 campaign to complete three million acts of goodness together in Benevity. TEAM MEMBER SPOTLIGHT Don Hitch started in construction in the 1980s. He built custom homes in South Seattle for 20 years before joining Mortenson in 2007. He started as a journeyman carpenter and worked his way up to a superintendent, which he has been for the last 4 years. His favorite part about this project is the constant challenges. One thing Don values is leading by example which truly embodies the Mortenson principle of “do the right thing”. When he tells someone he is going to do something, he is going to do it and expects the same in return. Don’s primary role on the project is a concrete superintendent. He was a huge part of the success of the zero defects embeds installs. As a native Seattleite who went to many a Seattle Totem hockey game back in the day, he is quite proud to be part of this project due to the uniqueness and history.
