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.

Columbus Public Library, Columbus, Nebraska
“Librarian’s Shelf” by Brad Hruska And the winner is…PART II In my last article, I featured this year’s 2011 Caldecott winner, “A Sick Day for Amos McGee.” I would like to transition a bit and highlight this year’s Newberry Medal winner. Like picture books, the juvenile novels have their own set of special honors, but of all the notable acknowledgments, it is the Newbery Medal that encompasses the essential literary elements recognized for a great read. The Newbery Award, named after the eighteenth-century English bookseller, John Newbery, is presented annually by the American Library Association to the author of the most distinguished juvenile novel published during the previous year. Previous winners include “The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle” by Hugh Lofting (1923), “Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle (1963), “The Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Paterson (1978), and “Holes” by Louis Sachar (1999). This year’s winner is “Moon over Manifest” written by Clare Vanderpool.In this tale, readers meet Abilene, a young girl forced to spend the summer of 1936 in her father’s boyhood hometown of Manifest, Kansas, while he pursues work with the railroad. While in the community known for its “Rich Past” and “Bright Future,” Abilene stays with Pastor Shady Howard. In the attic of the minster’s home, the 12-year-old uncovers an old cigar box. The contents (a few miscellaneous trinkets and a letter dating back to 1917 written to a Jinx from a Ned Gillen) are mysterious to Abilene and intriguing, especially since in the letter, Ned warns Jinx that “The Rattler” is watching.
