John Newbery (baptized July 9, 1713 – December 22, 1767) was an English publisher of books who specialized in children's literature.

Newbery also published a series of books written by "Tom Telescope" that were wildly popular.

 Open Spaces Magazine - The Newbery Awards by Elizabeth Cosgriff
The Newbery winner is selected by a committee of fifteen members of the Association for Library Service to Children.
Julie of the Wolves, the1973 winner, involved a young Eskimo woman's attempt to locate her place between the old Eskimo culture and the new culture of the whites, against the backdrop of her struggle for survival alone in the ice and snow of the Arctic as she flees an arranged marriage.
Because one of the event participants was last year's committee chair, Ellen Fader, it provided a mechanism for her to hear a number of children's opinions of the works prior to the final committee decision.

To a beginning writer, the Newbery is the greatest encouragement--to an established writer, it can be a validation of a career not misspent.
A Newbery Award book will not only have more readers but also more deep readers because they will know--maybe only subliminally--that some very smart people decided that this book is not only hot, it can also shed light.

 Where is Walter This Week?
But for them to resist the perceived wisdom that the Newbery is not for picture books and award an Honor to SHOW WAY was one of the boldest (and most proper) things I've seen a committee do.
I was certain it would make the list and almost certain it would win, but there was this nagging thought in the back of my head that maybe someone could talk the committee out of it.
But I am mostly thrilled because it will now be found by thousands of readers who would not otherwise know that their own thoughts, fears, and hopes could be so wondrously echoed in print.
