This year, the Newbery Award turns 100!
For 100 years, the Newbery Medal has been awarded to an author for contributions to American literature for children.
Kids, imagine you’re on the Newbery Committee. Which 2021 book published by an American author will you choose? Learn more about how the books are chosen by visiting https://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/newbery.
