Books are always good friends to me. Through protagonists facing conflicts similar to my own, I find comfort and gain constructive ideas. That’s what it means for a book to become a friend.

Jo Yeon-ho: 35 Newbery Award Must-Reads
The Newbery Medal, with a 100-year history, is called the “Nobel Prize of children’s literature.” A new book, 35 Newbery Must-Reads, has been published, carefully selecting and introducing excellent books that won a strong response from readers among more than 450 past Newbery winners. Famous for their well-crafted stories and delicate, beautiful prose and vocabulary, Newbery books have not lost their value over time and are widely read by children around the world. In Korea, they are often selected as debate and writing texts or required school reading. Reading Newbery winners is even considered a first step toward preparing for entrance exams. Prestigious private elementary schools and international middle schools even offer and run original-English reading classes. The reason people are eager to read Newbery winners is clear: they can reliably build literacy skills, which are essential for doing well across all subjects, including Korean, writing, and debate. Their outstanding sentences and vocabulary can strengthen vocabulary, their well-built stories from diverse backgrounds help readers develop the habit of reading at length, and their deep subjects—from racism to human cloning—can raise the level of reading. Yet parents often worry, “Everyone says they’re good, but they’re hard to actually read.” 35 Newbery Must-Reads is a welcome book for parents and teachers who hesitate because they don’t know where to start or how to approach the books. It brings together Newbery must-reads children should read at each stage, matched to their age and reading level.
