第一节
If you have been a book lover since your childhood, you may have heard of the Newbery Medal. ①It goes to the best children's books each year. But you may not know the person behind the prize. His name is John Newbery.
John Newbery was born in England in 1713. Back then, there weren't many books for children. People didn't think stories were important. However, Newbery believed kids should have books of their own. He thought young people should learn about the world from books and enjoy reading, too.

As a child, Newbery was a huge book lover. ②Since he didn't want to be a farmer, he became a publisher(出版人) when he grew up. He began this work in the town of Reading in England. ②Then he moved to London in 1743. Newbery published his first children's book A Little Pretty Pocket-Book in 1744 and it became a huge success.
Soon, Newbery began publishing more children's books. Some were about science and others were nursery rhymes(童谣). ②In 1765, Newbery published The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes, a novel for kids. It made the saying “goody two-shoes” popular, which is used to describe a person who is overly (过度地) well-behaved in a way that is forced and artificial(假装的).

③As a publisher, Newbery helped publish about 500 books for readers of all ages. That included more than 100 books for kids. This is why people call him “The Father of Children's Literature(文学)”. And for more than 100 years, children's book writers have won the Newbery Medal for their great works.
Kids now can learn a valuable lesson from Newbery's life. “He followed his passion,” said Michelle Markel, a children's book writer. ④“He just loved books, and he thought everybody should have the chance to read them.”
