**And a Newbery questions, too. Tim just read the 1952 Newbery winner
(Ginger
Pye) and wanted to know what the winning author gets besides a medal. Like
money or anything? I didn't find the answer at the Newbery site. We
wondered if maybe it is just an award that's a major honor, garners the
author great publicity for the book, and guarantees bigger sales and hence
more $$ that way. Anybody know?**

I know that they give a speech, because I read a book of collected
Newbery acceptance speeches at my library.

Children's librarians would know, I betcha.
