The Newbery Medal was first offered in 1921 by Frederic G. Melcher as an incentive for better quality in children's books. Named after John Newbery, the famous 18th century publisher and seller of children's books, it is now donated annually by Daniel Melcher, son of the original donor, to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children published during the preceding year.
