Award-Winning Books
Newbery, Caldecott, and Other Award-Winning Books
At Sonlight, we’re proud to feature more than 100 award-winning titles in our curriculum—including books honored with Newbery and Caldecott medals, along with many other prestigious literary awards. On this page, you’ll find a curated list of those celebrated works, as well as The Great American Novels that help shape our literature-rich learning experience.

The Newbery Medal is awarded each year to one book that the judges believe is the very finest in American literature for young people. The Newbery Honor may be awarded to as many American-authored children's books each year as the judges believe deserve special recognition.
The Association for Library Service to Children annually awards the Caldecott Medal to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children. The award was named in honor of the nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph J. Caldecott.
