The Newbery Medal was first offered in 1921 by
Frederic G. Melcher (1879-1963) as an incentive for
better quality in children’s books. The medal honors
John Newbery, the famous 18th century publisher and
seller of children’s books. It is now donated annually
by the Melcher family to the author of the most
distinguished contribution to American literature for
children published during the preceding year.
