The John Newbery Medal is a literary award given by the Association for Library Service to Children of the American Library Association (ALA) to the author of the most outstanding American book for children . The award has been given since 1922 . Together with the Caldecott Medal , it is considered the most prestigious award for children's literature in the United States . It is named for John Newbery , an 18th century publisher of juvenile books.
The Newbery Medal was designed by Rene Paul Chambellan in 1921 . There are only two books that received the Newbery Medal that are now are out of print.
