Category:Newbery Honor winners

This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:American children's writers. It includes writers that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent.

These writers have been runners-up for the Newbery Medal from the American Library Association, which recognizes the previous year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". From 1971 their works have been called Honor Books and they have received Newbery Honor citations.

For articles about cited books see Category:Newbery Honor–winning works. The Medal was inaugurated in 1922. As few as zero and as many as eight runners-up have been named, but from 1938 there have been one to five annual Honors.
