Newbery Honor Book

Newbery Honor Book award

The Newbery Honor Books are runners-up to the Newberry Medal, which is awarded each year for the preceding year’s most distinguished American picture book for children.

The medal is named in honor of John Newbery. He was an eighteenth-century British publisher of juvenile books. He made it a priority to create books specifically for children.

No Award was given in 1923, 1924, or 1927. That is because no book was considered suitable.
