Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Children’s literature plays a significant role in society because it reflects values and attitudes that will be passed to children as they read. One of the most prestigious awards for children’s literature is the John Newbery Medal, which is presented annually by the American Library Association for the most distinguished contribution to literature for children. Newbery books have a large readership, and are consistently among the most requested books in bookstores and libraries. Previous studies of children’s literature have focused on specific attributes of characters, such as race and gender, with a broad sample of styles and types of children’s books. Some research on award winning books is available, but an analysis of a wide range of characteristics of all Newbery Award winning books has not been conducted. In this study, content analysis of Newbery Award winning books from 1922 through 2007 was conducted in order to identify and describe the characteristics of Newbery book protagonists and core supporting characters. Characters were coded from a census of all Newbery books for gender, age, and race, family structure, and economic status. Statistically significant results from this study indicate that Newbery book portrayals of these variables have shifted over time and show young readers an ever-changing world full of diverse characters and settings.
