Our Favorite Newbery Medal & Honor Books
by the Brightly Editors
Since 1922, the Newbery Medal has been awarded each year to the author of the most notable American children’s book. Past winners include familiar titles such as The Twenty-One Balloons, Holes, and Last Stop on Market Street, as well as a number of lesser-known books worth exploring. From fiction to fact-based books, poetry to picture books, these are some of our favorite Newbery award winners and honor titles.
