John Newbery Medal 2014
The John Newbery Medal honors the author of the year's most outstanding contribution to children's literature. Presented every year since 1922, the Medal is named for 18th-century British bookseller John Newbery. Henrik Van Loon won the first Newbery Medal in 1922 for THE STORY OF MANKIND. Receiving the Newbery Medal virtually guarantees that the winning book will remain in print and on library and bookstore shelves for years to come.
- The winner of the John Newbery Medal is FLORA & ULYSSES: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo
- Four Newbery Honor Books also were named: DOLL BONES by Holly Black; THE YEAR OF BILLY MILLER by Kevin Henkes; ONE CAME HOME by Amy Timberlake; and PAPERBOY by Vince Vawter.
