This is the complete list as of 4/17/2025! A goal I have once I work my way through my entire (or most of) my TBR is to read all (or most) of the award winners of the Newberry and Caldecott awards. Literature written for younger audiences doesn't exclude older audiences so if you're ever hesitant to read a book just because it was written for younger people take the leap! You can learn and enjoy the books too!!!
I had the same thought today upon picking up The Twenty-One Balloons! Readalong???

omg yes!! i want to try and make my way through some of these this year!! did you want to buddy read any??
I've never done a buddy read before - I'm reading 21 balloons this weekend but I'd be down to pick up any of these books I can find if you have a preference!

I'm down to read basically whatever. My top picks at the moment would be Hitty, The Strawberry Girl, Kira-Kira, or When You Reach Me. Do any of those sound good to you?
They all sound great! I have a library trip planned this week (to use the printer) and I'll pick up what I can find on Wednesday! I might also look at the used bookstore for A Wrinkle in Time because I think I decluttered my copy and I can't be having with that đ
