Talk about a difference! Children’s literature has come a long way since this award originated. This time, we read Hitty: Her First Hundred Years the 1930 winner. Last year, we read When You Reach Me together, the 2010 winner.

One of the reasons I’ve made so much progress already is thanks to the support I’ve been receiving from both Captain Captain’s Quarters and Jane Greenish Bookshelf, both of whom are also working to read all Newbery Winners before the 100th is announced in January 2022.
